Back to the Mary River Flood Plains for a second visit. The Northern Territory has such an excellent number of different environments to explore. All the locations rely on water and with the heat coming on it’s even more significant. I was lucky to see the male Red-backed Fairy Wren as I have seen lots of females but never a male. I was also lucky to finally see the bird I have often admired as a soloist, a Rufous Whistler, whose only really competitor is the Pied Butcherbird. A very ordinary butterfly on the outside revealed a beautiful purple interior. Finally, one of the big attractions to walking in the surroundings is constantly being surprised by what you see and sometimes are lucky enough to capture.
