The previous recent visit to Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside had been outstanding opportunities to photograph the resident birdlife, so I was keen on another visit. Sue was also keen to come along.
This visit proved to be a lot quieter than the previous one. We did not see any Pacific Bazas (at least not confirmed – we did get fleeting views of some raptors), nor did we get quality observing time with the Azure Kingfishers, but we still, overall, had a good visit.
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Laughing Kookaburra
Little Corella
Galah
Dollarbird
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
A Thornbill –
Red Wattlebird
Perhaps a Little Wattlebird –
Bell Miner
Azure Kingfisher
White-faced Heron
Sacred Kingfishers
Brush Turkey
Australian White Ibis – one is preening the other.
Tawny Frogmouths
Water Dragon
A bit later we visited the Tawny Frogmouths again and found they had moved apart a bit.
Azure Kingfisher
And another Tawny Frogmouth photo – they are back together!
Thanks again to Sue for great company and helping with the spotting.
