Fellowship Reflections (week 5)

Broome - Pt 3: But wait, there's more!

While our focus in Broome was on shorebirds we couldn't help being captivated by the variety of other animals that were around the observatory or shores of Roebuck Bay. Wallabies were regularly seen around the camp. Mudskippers were engaging creatures which Phil and I spent a couple of ours observing & photographing one morning. Resident Green Tree frogs also came out each evening to keep us company during mealtimes. Of course, snakes were always an exciting find, especially the 2m+ black headed python we came across one eveing. Here's a few photos...




Similarly, the birds of the Australian Bush were spectacular. Here's some of the best pics from the trip (a few of the many hundreds I took!)...
