Logrunners at Mount Nardi
Mount Nardi at 812 metres is a peak in the Nightcap Range of the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Swathed in semi tropical rainforest, the dense crown cover means there is little light for good photography. Last weeks visit to Mount Nardi was an introduction to the Logrunner, the Little Shrike-thrush, and to the call of the Albert’s Lyrebird.
