Last of my annual pilgrimage

---

The search for some of my ants in saltpans resulted in a drive towards Yulara. The saltpan was snugly fit in some private land but couldnt resist the thought of not checking for ants and we drove into the private property. Yup! found the ants, lots of them infact..and lots of nests aswell. Here are some pics of the day, the day before and days following the find.

FALCON MIS-IDENTIFICATION
Sorry to disappoint you but the hovering falcon depicted in your photograph is an Australian or Nankeen Kestrel - not a Grey Falcon. Best regards, Nick Nick P. Williams, MSc. Raptor Ecologist England, UK
