Last weekend I headed to the northern part of the state. I wanted to revisit the Goschen Bushland Reserve on the edge of the Mallee country. The state has been receiving a higher than average amount of rainfall and the Mallee has exploded with lush green grass and flowers. While many of the rare vagrant birds have not yet returned to this green oasis amongst the wheat and rapeseed fields surrounding it, many of the local resident species are enjoying the bounty and have started nesting.
I camped in the carpark of the reserve to ensure an early start. It was a very cold, windy, stormy night but I was up nice and early for the dawn chorus and a bit of sun to warm me up.
I like the photo of the hare best of all. So crisp and you captured its wildness so well!

for a black white bird it is not bad, some of the other robins have amazing colours and names: pink, rose, yellow, red capped, flame, scarlet and hooded.

Have only seen the ‘red (orange) breasted’ robin here.
