I joined the Tempe Birdos for their monthly survey. This month I was in the group surveying the wetlands. It was reasonably quiet with not that many birds seen.
The highlight was perhaps spotting this Australasian Grebe in one of the ponds.
Here are some of the other birds we saw –
Pacific Black Duck
Dusky Moorhen
Magpie
Grey Butcherbird
We also saw some Superb Fairy-wrens but I was not able to get any good photos. We also heard quite a few Spotted Pardalotes calling.
On the way to morning tea in Tempe Reserve, we saw this Australasian Darter –
After morning tea, I went for a walk upstream along the Cooks River. And here are some more birds –
White-faced Heron
Striated Heron
Sacred Kingfisher
It had been a very pleasant morning.
