Wow, looks like were in the middle of the outback. Conditions must have been brutal? Posted 9 years ago

  Well it was winter, so the temperatures were actually lovely, and even a bit chilly in the mornings. So much so that I disappointingly saw very few reptiles. Gotta go back! Posted 9 years ago

        Still a solid schedule that over time builds up to an enormous collection :) Posted 9 years ago

The Crested pigeon

The crested pigeon is a bird found widely throughout mainland Australia except for the far northern tropical areas. Only two Australian pigeon species possess an erect crest, the crested pigeon and the spinifex pigeon. The crested pigeon is the larger of the two species.
