OUTBACK CHANNEL COUNTRY | 8 Day / 7 Night

TRACKS BIRDING & PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

Join me on a trip of a lifetime to learn how to find and photograph one of Australia's hardest families, the Australian Grasswrens. We will visit three states and do many thousands of kilometres in search of these outback specialities, we have a chance to see/photograph 10 species and an additional 2 or 3 subspecies, an opportunity not to be missed.

DAY 2 : Today we have a full day birding / photographing around Mt Isa, we have two Grasswren species to find: Kalkadoon Grasswren (Amytornis ballarae) and Carpentarian Grasswren (Amytornis dorotheae). We have a few sites to explore and depending on how each species behalves will depend on which species we will spend more time looking for, most likely it will be Carpentarian Grasswren as these are usually the toughest Grasswren of all. Other birds around Mount Isa includes the stunning Painted Finch, Spinifex Pigeon, Little Woodswallow, Spinifexbird, Grey-headed & Grey-fronted Honeyeater and Black-tailed Treecreeper.
