I spent an interesting morning at Barton Park photographing birds. Most of the birds I saw were at The Landing Lights Wetland and its hinterland.
Walking up to Landing Light Wetland, I could see a White-faced Heron on top of the sawer vent –
There were plenty of the usual Pied Stilts –
And two Royal Spoonbills –
I saw briefly a Striated Heron –
More Pied Stilts –
Here is a Little Pied Cormorant and a Great Egret –

I heard the call of a Golden-headed Cisticola, and soon spotted it –
There were two Black-fronted Dotterels on the mudflats –
This Tree Martin is about to grab an insect –
And then a Black-fronted Dotterel flew past –
More Golden-headed Cisticola –
And then a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike flew past –
Back to the Golden-headed Cisticola –
One of the Great Egrets flew up into a tree 0
The Little Pied Cormorant was perched nearby –
New Holland Honeyeater –
Chestnut Teal
Two mating cicadas –
Before leaving, I photographed some Welcome Swallows in Riverine Park –
I then heard some alarm calls, and looked up and spotted a Grey Goshawk –
And a few last photos of Welcome Swallows –
