Winton - Wildlife!

On our journeys to and from the AAOD Museum we saw some interesting wildlife, the most notable we saw was what looked like a duck on an emu's body - after asking about this with Vicki from Red Dirt Tours Red Dirt Tours - Red Dirt Tours - Winton Day Tours and describing it as an emu/duck she informed us it is an Australian Bustard or Plains Turkey (same bird two names). We did catch sight of a group of them in the second week. 


Spinifex Pigeons were also around the AAOD building, if you keep an eye out! 

When we went to Lark Quarry we saw these lovely little lizards (Pretty sure they are Netted Lizards)
The bird life is great too, galahs a plenty in fact they hold court at a house near the showground daily! Hawks can also be seen! Emus and these lovely little birds!
