I visited Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside with Valerie. We had quite a good day, but did not see as many birds as we were hoping.
Here are some photos –
Turtles
Little Black Cormorant

This baby Australian White Ibis was after food from its parent –

The hungry Australian White Ibis had moved down to this pool following its parent –

Superb Fairy-wrens
This Noisy Miner is having a sand bath –

Many thanks to Valerie for driving out to the Reserve.
Hi David, what time do you normally visit nurragingy reserve? I went today, it was cloudy with light rain and didn’t see any birds besides the ducks and cormorants at the Chang Lai area. Wonderful photos and blog by the way 🙂
You need to wander around the bush areas to see the more interesting birds. And learn some calls – eg Sacred Kingfisher or Oriole – so you can look out for them if you hear them. The fire trail that goes around the perimeter (Kookaburra Trail?) can be good.
When I visit – it is typically from 9 am till 2 pm.
