It had been a while since I had visited Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside, so I caught a train to Doonside and then walked into the Reserve. It was warm day, and there was a forecast for rain.
Due to the likelihood of rain, I decided to make sure I did the walk along the perimeter fire trail fairly early on.
But I spotted some birds first –
Royal Spoonbill
Sacred Kingfisher
Turtle
On the perimeter fire trail, I expected quite a f ew birds, but it was relatively quiet.

Bell Miner
Grey Butcherbird
Now back at the ponds. A big storm was approaching. I quickly made my way to shelter at the coffee-cart.
The storm last about 30 minutes.
