It was a pleasure to see this bird. It stayed for about 10 minutes "picking flowers". Such a beautiful bird. A bird often used as pets even if it is not recommended. They tend to stay wild. 

Stewart made a comment on this Rosella before the meme was posted. He says: "Wonderful bird - we call them "Tomato Sauce Rosellas" because they appear in the logo of an iconic Australian product!"

Not sure what the Magpie-lark is doing. Maybe it woke up on the wrong side. Thinking the Crested pigeon is it´s mate. ☺ I saw them when I went for breakfast.

This vader was a "write in" as it was not on our birdlist for this trip. That is always a good thing. At least if it is this gorgeous.  It is a plover, but wiki did not have much to say otherwise.

Going south again we made a short stop at Musgrave to refuel the cars.
Everywhere in the world you go, this seem to be a familiar sight! Don´t you agree? Some birds seem to like whatever we throw away.

 Late afternoon we visited this wetland. Many different birds and a cow. :) There are some cranes, I believe they are Sarus crane. And then herons and egrets.
