Central Highlands of Tasmania
I took off from Oatlands in the Southern Midlands and went west along a dirt track for 27 kilometers until I hit Lake Sorell. A little further on I found a camping area and decided to stay for the night. The wind was howling about a million knots and it was not very pleasant. But the sun was out.
Yellow Wattlebird (Anthochaera paradoxa )
I was quite surprised to see the Yellow Wattlebirds up so high. The altitude up here was about 700 meters. The bush was pretty nearly alpine country.
Yellow Wattlebird (Anthochaera paradoxa ) – chicks
I did not know what these were until the adult Yellow Wattlebird came to have a check-up on them.
Black Currawong (Strepera fulignosa )
Pretty normal for a currawong to be up in high alpine country and they hang around your camp like they do in the Snowy Mountains.
