Wonderful pics of the Mulga and Chestnut-breasted Whiteface. Mulgas are great little parrots but I never seem to get close enough for pics. Did you see Thick-billed Grasswrens when pursing the Chestnut-breasted Whiteface? The habitat along the lower Strezlecki is so bleak.

Regards,

I actually called in those mulgas. I played their call as they were flying over and the swooped down onto a perch infront of me.

The grasswrens live in the relatively nice part of that area. The parcially vegetated bits along creeklines.
We got a very good look at a fledgling that didn't move out of a small shrub.

All those whiteface love bleak habitats. Banded Whiteface (below) is up there with Gibberbirds as preferring the most sp****, nasty landscapes imaginable.
