It's been a Lyrebird to Lyrebird trip. Almost 8 weeks ago in Oz, I saw Albert's Lyrebird. And, after 5 other countries, back in Oz, SUPERB LYREBIRD is on my list, on my penultimate full day of birding!

Oz, archetypal, Oz.
The beautiful Wollemi National Park.
Wombats, Wallaroos, Kangaroos.
And, of course, Kookaburras. Plus here's a Turquoise Parrot, for your delectation.

It rained almost all day, but despite that & the ominous car hire company name, I managed quite a few, though the no.1 target of Regent Honeyeater remains still to be had. #birds #birding

Rangiroa - the Blue Lagoon excursion. The atoll is so big, once you're in the middle, you can barely see land!
Two endemics to get: I got one of them (Blue Lorikeet) But bonus Bristle-thighed Curlews there!
Baby shark - come on, sing along!
White Tern obligatory atoll photo.

Difficult to ignore the Zebra Doves, here in Tahiti. They occupy every habitat - even the airport cafes.

Back on Tahiti for a day or two. Went up the big valley, in the vain hope of Tahiti Reed Warbler!
Nature taking over from the machines.
