On the road to seeing southern Black-throated Finches

So you want to see endangered southern Black-throated Finches? Simple. Drive from Townsville to near Woodstock. Turn right to old Flinders Highway. Drive up and down the five roads and the park leading off it. Repeat this 5-10 times through the year.

You'll almost certainly find many finches - and probably a few Black-throateds. You really want some good pictures? Simple. 20-50 trips should do it!

Pictures: 3 of 5 juveniles beside old highway on Monday.
