We had a very pleasant morning survey along the Hawthorne Canal section of the Greenway. The Sun was out!
This makes a big difference with the birds seen at Taverners Hill Light Rail Station, where we saw a small flock of Spotted Pardalotes foraging in the Eucalypts.
But, not noticed during the survey, but only when I looked at my photos afterwards on computer, I saw there was at least one Striated Pardalote amongst the flock –
Striated Pardalotes are very rare birds in the Inner West of Sydney.
Lower down, it was relatively quiet. Here is a Brush Turkey –
Near Marion St, a Magpie –
And a Magpie Lark
Superb Fairy-wren
Willie Wagtail
Striated Heron
The survey finished and we had morning tea at the Dog area. After this, as I was walking to the Light Rail Station, I heard commotion almost the birds, and looked up and spotted a Pacific Baza.
I then headed to Malabar Headland for the rest of the day.
