I joined the Tempe Birdos for their monthly survey. After meeting at the lower pond at Tempe Wetlands, I joined the group that surveyed at Tempe Reserve.
The first few photos below were taken at the Wetlands before the groups separated.

In Gough Whitlam Park, i heard commotion made my Noisy Miners and went over to investigate and spotted a Channel-billed Cuckoo –
It was being harassed by Noisy Miners –
It was then joined by a second Channel-billed Cuckoo.
Now, they get harassed by a Currawong –
And some last photos of a Grey Butcherbird with a small worm.
