Haha wet season mate - hard to get around and birds are dispersed far and wide. Had a couple fleeting glimpses of possible juv Gouldians flying past but not enough to be happy with it. They apparently start to show up here in good numbers around the start of April. You'll notice also no Torresian Crows yet...Noice^^
But why no Gouldians yet, Mr. Mayor in spe?

I had some great birding the last week of February with some common spring migrants already here (Woodchat shrike, Western yellow wagtail, Red-rumped swallow), numerous groups of Black kites flying north on the 26th which gave for a great show, as well as other species I rarely see (including my second timer ever seeing any nightjar and Spectacled warbler, Western subalpine warbler but especially Alpine swift which is not often seen around where I live):

It was very nice out (60*F), so I went to another nearby park, this time a rather nice prairie.
While I didn't actually ID anything there, I saw a small brown bird (Probably a sparrow) in the grasses, as well as some reddish brown birds that were constantly avoiding me.
However, I still did see a bat and some other things on the drive to and back from there
Birds:
20. Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura)
Mammals:
3. Groundhog/woodchuck (Marmota monax)
