I went for a drive to Bowra Sanctuary near Cunnamulla, Qld last week and was pleased to find a MMC feeding on the roadside between St George and Cunnamulla

Great find especially with the crest up.
So how was Bowra bird sanctuary?
Samford Valley Qld.
Bowra is on my bucket list, along with kakadu and a few other hot spots for birding.
Nice find, Bowra on my list too.
good, I went out in May and can't remember if I posted on that trip
my 3 target birds for Bowra were - Bourke's Parrot, Hall's Babbler and Chestnut-breasted Quail-Thrush
May '15 trip I saw Bourke's Parrot
Sept '15 trip I saw Hall's Babbler
looks like I have to go back in 2016
some more pics, hover your mouse over the pic for the species name
the White-backed Swallow is not a great pic but that was my 2nd sighting and they are a very fast bird

Nice work pacman, great colours too. Looks like a place i could go to get new species added to my photogrpahs of birds

Gorgeous photos Peter, makes me want to go there even more.
Great stuff! I have a list of places that I want to have a look at including Bowra. All these birds would have been a first for me.
What is your bird count / birds photographed up to now?
Samford Valley Qld.
thanks for the comments
Australian list is 586 species + 188 sub-species
(Australian Ringneck - Port Lincoln Parrot is the nominate race and counted as a species, in addition I have seen/got pic of Twenty-Eight Parrot and Malle Ringneck and therefore 2 ssp count)
No pic of 21 but I need to recount after the recent big efforts on sorting my pics.
Peter
All those would be new for me too!!

Peter
i wonder what the purple flower in the background of the major mitchell's pic is??
I saw Araminta's 'Emu chick' thread and that reminded me of the number of dad Emu and chicks that I had seen on my Bowra trip
Peter
Those chicks are the fluffiest things I have ever seen. Nice photo Peter.

Gorgeous pics Peter. There's just something about arid country birding, isn't there?
