  • Brisbane International Airport

    February 8 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Not a good start. Threw up in the car on the way. Poor Mal has to put up with the smell.
    Didn't see any Snipes.
    Flying at 10480 meters! Lunch was the worst pie I have ever had. Unfortunately it was made in Australia 😮‍💨Read more

  • Life on The Island

    February 9 on Norfolk Island ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    Well so far so good. A few new spieces and lovely company.
    Paul & Kate have been my chauffeurs. We went to the Botanic Gardens (most of it was closed for repairs) got the Gerygone & Slender-billed White-eye. Went to the National Park & nearly wore ourselves out. The tracks are very hilly! Got the NI Robin, & the Black-winged Peterals.
    The King Quails are around, so not impossible to find.
    Went on a tour this morning. It wasn't a good as I had hoped. The guide was excellent with the flora & fauna. Saw another little Tern sitting on a branch.

    Well my time on NI is nearly over.
    Paul & Kate were great company.
    We had meals together every second night and went birding every day.

    Home at last! What a journey...
    When you land from Norfolk, you go in at the end of the airport, walk to the other end, then walk back to the other end in roped off lines. It took 1 1/2 hours to get out...... So Happy to be HOME. Mal only took a few minutes to pick me up and we were off.Read more
