Red-browed Pardalotes, Red-backed Kingfisher and Rainbow Bee-eaters

My dad and I went for a ride yesterday to try to find a pair of Black-shouldered Kites we thought were nesting near where we rode. We did see one of the Kites, but soon became far more interested in the Red-browed Pardalotes who were busily collecting material from a dirt mound for what we suspect was a nest in a different dirt mound.

There was also a beautiful Red-backed Kingfisher hanging around




And a cute little Rainbow Bee-eater which looked like a green and yellow ball of fluff in the fork of this tree.


A Black Kite kept flying overhead

And this Willie Wagtail came close
