Australian Birds
Australia is a fantastic place for birding with hundreds of birds only found here from Emus down to the tiny Weebill. As well as many varied land habitats, the surrounding oceans have a great range of pelagic birds, such as petrels and albatrosses.
We've now left Australia to return to the UK, so the update on 24/12/2012 is likely to be the last for some time.
