we spent a few days exploring Litchfield NP and I have to say after many years of passing through this country on the way to Broome it is the driest I have ever seen it. Even Fogg Dam is dry according to our reliable source, well Mal the camping man. This may account for the dearth of species, that and the inability to get out of bed before the heat of the day didn't help. mind you it was unseasonably hot and humid the dry season is meant to be pleasant but considering the weather in the rat, it snowed the day after we left, we weren't complaining.
So the number of species we reached at Batchelor on the way out of Litchfield reached 64 with a Grey Goshawk probably the best of the bunch.

While we were at Batchelor we learnt that the England football team (and I use the last two words in a very loose fashion) had also joined the Brexit movement and decided to make up for the Icelandic Cod Wars of the 70's by handing the game to the Icelanders. The carnivores took solace in a traditional Aussie meat pie, Roberto's first one and my 987,326th. The reason for the picture was that there was a fig tree full of Figbirds, what else, and Orioles.
