Cooks River Birds – 22 May 2016

This was a nice bike ride along the cycleways of the Cooks River visiting some of the wetlands and photographing the birds.

The first place  I stopped was Gough Whitlam Park. The I cycled to TheLanding Lights Wetland at Rockdale. Then back to Tempe and the wetlands there. Then back up the river to the Boat Harbour and the Cup and Saucer Creek Wetlands. Quite remarkable was a very large gulp of cormorants at the Boat Harbour (Yes, “gulp” is the collective noun for cormorants, like a murder of owls or a parliament of owls). I counted over 60 birds.

Here are some of my photos –
