This morning was my first full day at Werrikimbe and it was a pretty ordinary day. It is quite cool, even cold, up here in the mountains and I had a hard time getting myself out of my warm sleeping bag this morning. By the time I got down the trail to where I had hoped to photograph the Rufous Scrub-birds they were no longer calling and I was unsuccessful in trying to find them. I had seen several birds around the campsite so I headed back there to see what I could photograph.
Heavy overcast skies made things a bit tricky but I ended up with some decent photos despite the lack of light. A family of Superb Fairywrens were living right around my campsite so I spent much of the day just sitting in a chair with a book and taking some photos whenever they perched in a nice spot. It turned out to be quite a nice, relaxing day.
