Birds at Tempe and Along the Cooks River – 14 March 2026

I joined the Tempe Birdos for their monthly bird survey. This time, I joined the group surveying at Tempe Wetlands.

Here are some of the birds we saw in the wetlands and their hinterland.

Later, at Tempe Reserve, for morning tea, a few more birds –

And then I walked up the Cooks River, via Gough Whitlam Park to Illawarra Road.

This was a very pleasant way to spend the morning.
