I visited two venues to see what birds were around. First Barton Park, where I spent most of my time at Landing Lights Wetland, then caught a bus up to St Peters and visited Sydney Park.
Here is how the trip went.
When I walked down the Spring St Canal at Barton Park, I spotted this Little Black Cormorant –
There was a big school of small fish in the canal.
But the Cormorant was a bit too far upstream.
There was also a foraging Royal Spoonbill –
The was a very distant Brown Goshawk flying high overhead –
Some birds in the hinterland of Landing Lights Wetland –

Back at the Wetlands, there were plenty of Pied Stilts –
