It was the morning for the Tempe Birdos survey. As I had missed some recent surveys due to Fungi Group commitments, I was keen to head to Tempe once more. After the survey (and its concluding morning tea), I walked part way home along the Cooks River to photograph some more birds.
At Tempe, I joined the group surveying at Tempe Wetlands. Here are some birds we found.
