CommentI visited a very small waterhole several days in a row in the middle of July. Early each morning the same events took place: first, a sizeable flock of Hooded Parrots would land and make use of the waterhole, second, Double Barred finches and Long Tailed finches would join them, and finally after a few minutes, a flock of approximately 30 Gouldian finches (mainly juveniles) would come in. I was rapt - as I had never seen a Gouldian Finch before.
EquipmentCanon EOS 7D Mark II with Canon EOS 600mm f/4L USM non IS lens at 600mm, 1/400 sec, f6.3, ISO 400 on tripod. Also using portable bird hide.
LocationKatherine, Northern Territory
