Sometimes all you need is one bulrush blade - a brown honeyeater drinking at the Watarrka spring

Not a great pic but enough information to indicate that a dingo is climbing onto the ledge at the Watarrka spring

I had missed some Watarrka SD cards from last year (it was a very busy time with a new project) so I am catching up now.A brown goshawk with it's prey -a young honeyeater - confronting but an accurate portrayal of life and death a spring.

The camera at the Watarrka perennial rockhole has been moved but it is still recording dingoes coming in to drink (these two may be the camera tampering culprits)

Duelling male euros at the Watarrka seasonal stream pool - the dry rockbed provides an ideal place to settle marsupial disputes

Euros are often curious about the Watarrka waterhole cameras but it seems to be only dingoes that can move them.

Never a good moment when a cat is recorded on the Watarrka ephemeral stream camera. The camera is tilted but still operating (see previous dingo post)

Incoming dingoes at the Watarrka ephemeral stream site. Note the camera was tilted from this date onwards - I wonder why?

Despite the Watarrka perennial rockhole camera being moved it is still in recording mode - hence this record of a fat-tailed pseudantechinus

A dingo drinking at the Watarrka ephemeral stream pool - more frequent rain events in central Australia mean that this pool is filling more often.

A nice view of the rocks above the Watarrka perennial rockhole - but not one that I was expecting. Crows peck the cameras but dingoes seem more adapt at moving them -luckily this one remained in the original location- just not with the same orientation

Suddenly the images from the camera at the Watarrka perennial rockhole have moved from landscape to portrait - I think this may be the culprit surveying his work
