Eagle View and Cox's Scrub, South Australia.

A windy visit to Cox's and an afternoon at the Farm.

Australia, Day Fifty One.

Ebird List.

Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx basalis).

Ian was off early with Renate to do a Market in Adelaide somewhere so after a slow start I headed down the road to Cox's Scrub, I arrived and the Car Park was empty so I guessed everyone else had looked at the weather report about the wind getting up.

The wind was making things unpleasant so I headed back to the farm where I caught up with a bit on the Laptop and watched what went passed the window which included Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus), Little (Anthochaera chrysoptera) and Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata), Australian Ibis (Threskiornis molucca), Tree Martin (Petrochelidon nigricans), Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena), Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and later on the way to get food from Meadows we caught up with the all important Willie-wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) and later we had a Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) from the terrace whilst eating.
