Gouldian Finch (male) Erythrura gouldiae September 21st, 2019 Wyndham, Western Australia, Australia Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Canon EF 600mm f4L IS II USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender The local caravan park in Wyndham is a well known hot spot for these incredibly colourful Finches. We drove about 8 hours from Pine Creek in the NT to Wyndham to spend a couple of nights here with hopes of photographing this species. Thankfully, a couple of flocks dropped by the waterhole of a morning for a quick drink. This is a red-headed male, which are rarer than the more common black-headed males. We didn't see that many of this colour during our stay so I was pretty happy to come away with an image of one of these stunning males.
