It was a chilly, damp overcast weekend at Gluepot with @sandyhorne.bsky.social but we made the most of it. White-fronted Honeyeaters were in abundance around the flowering Eremophila bushes. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepotreserve

Some people do therapy, me, personally, I find a weekend at Gluepot Reserve is a great way to escape and reset. Heading there this weekend hell or high water. This is a Southern Scrub-robin from my last visit in April with @sandyhorne.bsky.social . #gluepotreserve #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026

Good morning world #brucelife

This Southern Boobook needs to go back to owl school. It missed the bit about being a night bird. The day birds weren’t really happy about it being around either. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #brucebirdlife

A female Red-capped Robin at Redbanks Conservation Park who was very upset that I was near her space. I’m going to call her Karen..!! In my defence I was just passing bye..!!!

On a recent trip to Gluepot Reserve with @SandyHorne61 we camped at the Bellbird campsite. It was an awesome start to the day while sipping a morning coffee as the sun rose to be serenaded by Crested Bellbirds. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #gluepot

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

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
