Water from the heavy rains around Melrose and Wilmington is slowly making its way down the Willochra. Just reached Bruce at about 1:00pm today. #brucelife #waterislife

It was a chilly, damp overcast weekend at Gluepot with @sandyhorne.bsky.social but we made the most of it. White-fronted Honeyeaters were in abundance around the flowering Eremophila bushes. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepotreserve
Some people do therapy, me, personally, I find a weekend at Gluepot Reserve is a great way to escape and reset. Heading there this weekend hell or high water. This is a Southern Scrub-robin from my last visit in April with @sandyhorne.bsky.social . #gluepotreserve #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026

This lifer that wasn’t on my list today. A Black-breasted Buzzard flying over the railway station at Beltana. Also notice his next meal clenched in his claws. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
I reckon this guy hitches a ride in my car and pops out and poses wherever I stop. A Red-capped Robin at Redbanks Conservation Park SA. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
This Southern Boobook needs to go back to owl school. It missed the bit about being a night bird. The day birds weren’t really happy about it being around either. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #brucebirdlife
A female Red-capped Robin at Redbanks Conservation Park who was very upset that I was near her space. I’m going to call her Karen..!! In my defence I was just passing bye..!!!

On a recent trip to Gluepot Reserve with @SandyHorne61 we camped at the Bellbird campsite. It was an awesome start to the day while sipping a morning coffee as the sun rose to be serenaded by Crested Bellbirds. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot
A bit of a surprise for this time of year. A flock of Cockatiels in the Southern Flinders Ranges, SA. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #brucebirdlife
A Black-shouldered Kite this morning on the way to work. There seems to be quite a few around lately and it’s rare that they’ll sit long enough to photograph. Southern Flinders Ranges SA. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026

Number 1 on the Birdlist at Gluepot is the Striated Grasswren. Was lucky enough late in the day with @sandyhorne.bsky.social to capture this one. Out of 7 shots I got 3 in focus before it disappeared back into the spinifex. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot

There were very few birds at the Gluepot hides this year but did catch this White-eared Honeyeater shaking off after a dip. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot
Had an awesome Easter weekend birding with @sandyhorne.bsky.social at Gluepot. To see the Mallee so green was a special experience. Had to work for the birds but came away with 3 lifers. This Chestnut Quail-thrush was a special find. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot
