I spent an interesting and enjoyable morning at Sydney Park with Sue and Valerie, wandering around looking for birds, with a nice coffee break at the nearby Bearded Barista.
The most interesting birds we saw was one of the first we spotted – a Buff-banded Rail, sitting on top of a grass hummock at the top pond.
There were a few Little Black Cormorants –
Grey Butcherbird
Dusky Moorhen
White-faced Heron
Australasian Darter
Dragonfly
And then the Darter took off –
Overall, the number of birds in the Park was relatively low – particularly the Ducks, Coots and Moorhens. And despite a lot of looking we did not spot any Tawny Frogmouths.
