Is the last one a Lord Howe Moorhen? And is the Currawong specific to Lord Howe? Lovely series of photos, cheers, Richard

Hi Richard, the last one is a Lord Howe Woodhen & the Currawong is a subspecies, they have different call & a look a little different.

Cheers, Jackie

Hi Correa, I am sure you will, probably more than what we did. We had really bad weather the day after we got there up until we left.

If you like spiders keep an eye out for the blue golden orb weaver.
