Hi there, I thought some may be interested in a short underwater video I posted on my blog.

 

http://sunlitplains....f-palm-springs/

 

It was taken at Palm Springs near halls Creek in the east Kimberley.  The water is quite murky but you do get glimpses of several common natives for the area, in their natural habitat:

  • Western Rainbowfish
  • Spangled Perch
  • Barred Grunter
  • Western Sooty Grunter
  • Seven-spot Archerfish

There's also a turtle but he's hard to spot!  If you pick up anything else in the video that I have missed please leave a comment!

 

Cheers, Mike

haha yeah.  i think that some of the best habitats I've seen are ones where I wouldn't want to go anywhere near the water :)
