November-Litchfield seemed very subdued, almost as if everything was on hold until the rains come. Plenty of marsupials (more Wallaroos than Wallabies) moving to and from water in the morning, but very little bird activity.

There were a lot of big grasshoppers; some appeared as small birds (wishful thinking perhaps) when they first took flight. Maybe it was because the early morning was burnt off so fast. By nine a.m. I was soaked and swimming through the atmosphere. Morning at this time of year seems to be between five thirty a.m. and eight a.m. sharp.

Maybe its because there is permanent water all-year-round. Maybe its because it is distributed over a wide area so that the mosaic of birding territories are spread out. I am so used to constricted landscapes where artificially small territories are the name of the game.

There were puddles of rain laying on the tracks so there has been some rain. Some plants growing a distance from the permanent creeks are flowering. I didn’t see any nectar eaters humming around or any insect eaters taking advantage of eating some of the invited guests to this special occasion.
