Spinifexbird - The Master of Hide and Seek!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Don Hadden, we witness the elusive Spinifexbird in its natural habitat. Known for its preference for the dense spinifex grass found in Western Australia, this Australian endemic bird is a true master of hide and seek. With its vibrant plumage blending seamlessly with the surrounding foliage, spotting this solitary creature can be quite a challenge. But fear not! Our talented photographer has managed to capture an intimate moment between a parent Spinifexbird and its newly fledged chick hidden deep within the labyrinthine spinifex. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we can't help but marvel at nature's ingenuity. Despite being restricted to such harsh terrain, these birds have adapted perfectly to their environment. Their sedentary lifestyle is interrupted only during breeding season when they come together as a family unit. While not considered rare, these feathered wonders are incredibly localised and often absent from seemingly suitable areas – making each sighting all the more special. So next time you find yourself exploring the Pilbara region or western Queensland, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive avian acrobats! Don Hadden's breathtaking photograph serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging environments, life finds a way to thrive – hidden among blades of spinifex grass lies an entire world waiting to be discovered.
