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

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

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

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
