Three crazy birders hired a car and off we went. First target species picked up at the airport. A blackbird haha. We had days on land and Bruny Island and two days at sea of Eaglehawk Neck.
The weather was inclement and our flight to Melaleuca was cancelled.
However, we cleaned up on nearly all the endemics but our owls hunting at night failed (dipped)
But here is a link to some of the species seen.
