Chris Coleborn from northern Victoria conducts an informal survey of the northern annex of Terrick Terrick National Park with local birdos two or three times a year. We joined him in April for an excellent evening of spotlighting.

We found 7 males and 4 females as well as a number Little Buttonquail and Stubble Quail. Also recorded were Barn Owl, Singing bushlark and Richard's Pipit and Fat-tailed Dunnart Sminthopsis crassicaudata. Here are a few photos.

Please note that the paddocks where the birds are found are locked by the Ranger, and can only be accessed with his permission and under his supervision.

For more details about Terrick Terrick National Park see this page. For more info about Plains-wanderer have a look at Phil Maher's page.
