It was time for the bird survey along the Cooks River with the Mudlarks. This month the survey was downstream – on the Wave Rock Circuit.
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Channel-billed Cuckoos
Welcome Swallow
Long-billed Corella
Australasian Figbirds
Rainbow Lorikeet
Magpies

Tawny Frogmouth – still on a nest –
Here is a young Grey Butcherbird calling out for food.
And then we found the mate of the Tawny Frogmouth that was sitting on the nest.
And back to the nest –
We finished back at Ewen Park with a great Xmas morning tea.
After that, I walked upstream with Valerie to see if we could spot more Tawny Frogmouths.
The Tawny Frogmouth at Ewen Park is still sitting on its nest –
And, nearby, we spotted the second of the pair –

Great Egret
