Number 1 on the Birdlist at Gluepot is the Striated Grasswren. Was lucky enough late in the day with @sandyhorne.bsky.social to capture this one. Out of 7 shots I got 3 in focus before it disappeared back into the spinifex. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot

It’s all good.
Gluepot has had a lot of rain this year and there is a lot of water around so the birds don’t need to come to the hides.

There were very few birds at the Gluepot hides this year but did catch this White-eared Honeyeater shaking off after a dip. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot

Can't beat being serenaded by Crested Bellbirds while having your morning coffee but..!!

Had an awesome Easter weekend birding with @sandyhorne.bsky.social at Gluepot. To see the Mallee so green was a special experience. Had to work for the birds but came away with 3 lifers. This Chestnut Quail-thrush was a special find. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot

The Willochra Creek in the last day or so has gone from a dry creek bed to over a km wide. #brucelife #waterislife

Here we go again..!! #brucelife

The Willochra Creek rose to well over 2m overnight. The highest it’s been in many years. This is the only road out of Bruce so we’ll be sitting this one out for a few days. #brucelife

This is a gully that is usually dry for years at a time. #brucelife

Update: it’s now 50mm.

25mm of glorious rain so far. The biggest rain event here in about 3 years. #brucelife
