Birds and Reptiles at Sydney Park – 11 October 2025

After the early Tempe Bird Survey, I went home for lunch, then I headed out to Sydney Park in the afternoon. It was nice to see a pair of Tawny Frogmouths. I also saw a Buff-banded Rail – but it was flying fast through vegetation.

Here is a selection of photos –
