Warm days and dusty cattle tracks draw Horsfield's Bushlark (Mirafra javanica) out to compete with Australasian Pipit (Anthus novaeseelandiae) for a share of pasture pickings.
Got close to the dust-bath action the other day at Mungalla Station.
Dust flies as bird wriggles in.
And feathers dance as breeze picks up.
Mustn't leave Pipit out of the picture. One on a post from awhile ago.
