I joined the Mudlarks for their monthly survey along the Cooks River. In daylight saving time the group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7 am on the Lang Street Footbridge. This month the group surveyed downstream on the Wave Rock Circuit.
We saw a good number of species. Here are some –
Welcome Swallow
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
Magpie Lark
Australian Raven
Great Cormorants
Magpie Lark on nest
Olive-backed Oriole
Little Corellas
Australasian Darter
Australasian Figbirds
Juvenile Magpie
Grey Butcherbird
Little Pied Cormorant
Masked Lapwing
Rainbow Lorikeet
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo
And pair of Tawny Frogmouths. One on a nest.
Then the group had morning tea at Ewen Park. After this a few of us went back for another look at the nesting Tawny Frogmouth. We found that there was at least one chick.
Grey Butcherbird
