Another long hot walk around the Mary River Flood Plains. Most of the flowering has finished among the Cocky Apple and I saw no Masked Finches. The Red-backed Fairy Wrens seem to be paired up although I did see several unattached females with possible juvenile males roaming around. The paired males are getting very quiet and I think I was lucky to see them at all.
Around any standing water the story is very different
with insects and flowering plants in abundance .
