Thanks for the comments everyone.
Rags, the
caerulea are great, they were extremely common around the resort in Broome after dark.
Andy, do it. A few mates to split fuel costs with and your set.
Justin, I'm not really sure why the barroni are often scarred up, I've always thought it was probably inflicted by what they're feeding on. Sitting in water holes waiting for animals to come down for a drink seems to be a favoured ambush method. Corellas and Galahs are common visitors to water holes and could quite easily inflict nasty wounds with their beaks. Cats, Quolls, Dingos and small Macropods could also cause damage as predator or prey.
Jeff, thats one of the new species. The two reds in the Pilbara are now
cygnitos (Western) and
epsisolus (Eastern).
E eos was also split off during that revision, found out near Warburton on the tri state border.
I've always found the
bushi more inland, theyre pretty common north of Newman across to Tom Price. I've picked up caudos around Nanutarra but never looked much further north of that on the coast. A few years ago they were all lumped in with caudos, these are just a slightly bigger, uglier version
Hans, yeah, blew the bandwidth allocation unfortunately, I'll look at a pbase or similar account in future so that doesnt happen.
David, I agree, the burrowing Elapids are always a treat to find. Luck more than anything, we've only just recently found calonotus down where I'm living but yet to find semifasciatus or bimaculatus.
The Princess Parrots we're all too easy once we hit Neale Junction but that was after some reports that they were using the area at the time. It's a long way to go to find out they've moved on!

One of my favourite pastimes is stirring up my birder friends so it worked out well.
Heading back up to the Pilbara tomorrow, night time temps are a lovely 4C

Cheers
Jordan
