When Trounson went to Australia he began to record bird songs there, accumulating a collection of recordings, as well as reviving his interest in photography. After three years, during his mid-tour leave, he travelled with Peggy through Queensland recording and photographing birds, producing pictures of 110 species. Following his retirement, he stayed in Australia, continuing his interest in bird photography. His success resulted in further expeditions, to the Cape York Peninsula, Iron Range, and the Simpson Desert where he photographed the Eyrean grasswren, unseen since the 19th century and thought to be possibly extinct. After Peggy died he married Molly Clampett, with whom he authored several pictorial books and field guides on Australian birds.
