Perth Trip Part 2

Here are some more from my Perth trip. Hope you enjoy them. Part 3 still to come :)

Spotted Pardalote - A new one for me. There was a pair nesting in a hole in a rock wall. I would have loved to have stayed there to get some more shots but I didn't want to disturb them too much.

White-cheeked Honeyeater

New Holland Honeyeater. Not a new one but I liked this shot. There are so many of them over there compared to Brisbane.

Musk Duck - I called this one the Bachelor as it looked like the 3 bachelorettes linning up. A new bird for me too!

Blue-billed Duck - Another new one for me. This one was displaying for his lady friends.

Nice shots ... interesting behaviours you have captured from the ducks. 

Quite surprised you had to go all the way to Perth to find a spotted pardalotte! Amazingly beautiful little birds

Fantastic Dev, I love that spotted Pardalote photo, by time i worked out what that bird is, they are usually gone.

We get plenty of New Holland down south along with Musk Ducks though I dont see many Blue Bills where I am from 

Those Duck photos are classics as well

Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well

Yeah I know right. We get them around here in the colder months but I have never seen them.

There was a pair at Reabold hill. Walked up from the park side and he was in the rock wall around the second bench.

Hey guys, what's up? I am planning a vacation to Australia these days and I really need your help. I arrive in Melbourne and want to go to other cities too but I don't know how to make it. By bus or by car? I don't actually want to go by bus since it's hot and everyone will be sweaty... So okay, by car. But where can I rent it? Can you advise any company where I can rent a car for trip in perth, for example?
