Birding Bowra Part 3 – Deeper Into The Property

In this section we will see birds that are found as you leave the Bowra homestead area and turn in the opposite direction of the main road, heading deeper into the property.  Of course it’s pot luck which birds will be there at any given time of year and depending on rainfall.  Most cars can make it about 5km down the road but depending on road conditions you will probably need a 4WD to go further.  Always check with the caretaker before heading out.

Look in dense bushes for Fairy-wrens, Homey-eaters and Crimson Chats.

Ground foragers like Cockatiels and Bourke’s Parrots are common here.
