Bowra Station, QLD (Aug, 2014)

I drove for three days to get to Bowra Station. I had three target species, one was at the homestead, Spotted Bowerbird, but three days of rain had closed the tracks to where I might find the other two species!

Thankfully after three days of hiking around to get photos, the main track I needed opened.

I was amazed at how easy it was to then find both target species, this quail-thrush along with Hall's Babbler. They were together. I almost managed to get them in the same photo!
