Crocs and Gouldians Experience

27/08/2025

Gouldian hole is really getting busy now. Lots of birds and other wildlife are visiting the waterhole. Time to come and experience a little piece of nature's magic.

The Gouldians were nervous this morning and came into the site at the end of the waterhole with lots of shrubs as cover from any Goshawks. That meant they were in the shade so the colours are not quite so spectacular but something that always amazes me.

A bit of chaos at Gouldian hole this morning with the Falcons and Goshawks active. The Gouldians sat in cover and you can see their camouflage working when they turn their back.

After the strangest finish to the wet season and very late rains in May the country is finally starting to dry our and the birds are starting to gather. We are finally able to start offering these amazing experiences again.

Its has been a very different start to the season with a major unseasonal rain event in late May filling waterholes across the landscape. The result has been next to no finches needing to use the major waterhole. The congregation is starting to happen but we do not expect to be able to offer the amazing experiences we do until August!

There are still some spectacular events happening!

This one from last Sunday

Some of the birds from recent trips. The wedge-tailed eagles have been pretty regular this year.

Some recent video from trips to Gouldian hole. The quail were a real bonus. They were so good to see.

I did an overnight run down to Gouldian hole with Ian Morris Wednesday night. We did the overnight trip so we could fit in a spotlighting ramble and Wow!! It’s been a long long time since I have seen Bandicoots(5) water rats (at least 4) and a black-footed Tree-rat all in one session. And next morning while we enjoyed the bird show at the Gouldian waterhole the Antilopine and Agiles were in for a drink.

I got out to Gouldian creek for the first time this season today. Still quite a bit of water in the creek and so no birds at the main waterhole. They are still along the creek. What was fascinating today was Gouldians foraging in Paperbark trees. They looked to be hunting for insects or lerps for food.

Gouldian hole was firing this morning with Gouldians and 42 species of birds. We also had visits from a number of macropods, Agile wallabies and Antilopine Kangaroos. Was a pretty special morning showing how these waterholes become more important as the dry season progresses making the wildlife viewing experience even more special.
