| Male Splendid Wren, Pandappa, South Australia |
I have recently been looking back through photos of birds taken several years ago. This set of photos date from September 2014 on a trip to
Peterborough in the mid north of South Australia. While staying with relatives I took a day out by myself to go birding, hoping to get a few photos to share here.
I travelled some 40 kilometres south east of Peterborough, through Terowie and further east to a locality known as Pandappa. This is primarily sheep grazing country though some cereals are also grown in good seasons. The farming in this area is marginal at best. On my drive I was aiming to visit
Pandappa Conservation Park.
Today I am showing a series of photos of several male
Splendid Wrens seen along the road as I travelled. I had to stop several times and wait patiently for these beautiful birds to pose out in the open. They can be frustrating to get good shots, sometimes secretive, always on the move. While these photos are not brilliant, they are amongst the best I have taken of this elusive species.
