Some Local (Cooks River) Birds – 23 September 2025

I was able to get out and walk along a short section of the Cooks River – between Illawarra Rad and Gough Whitlam Park, to see what birds were about. It was fairly quiet – there were no cormorants or other large water birds. I think I spotted only one Moorhen. NO kingfishers. But there were some parrots feeding on grass seeds at Gough Whitlam Park.

This one has ambiguous colouring, but probably an Eastern Rosella rather than a Crimson Rosella. Possibly a hybrid –
