This was a short trip to a section of the Cooks River between Illawarra Road and Gough Whitlam Park to see what birds were around.
The highlight of this visit was spotting an Osprey – a rare bird for the Cooks River at present.
Early on, I spotted a juvenile Little Heron. It was being harassed by Noisy Miners.
Rainbow Lorikeet
All of a sudden, a large number of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos took the air, squawking loudly.
An Osprey was on a patrol up the river.
The Osprey was being harassed by a Magpie –
Tawny Frogmouths
Little Pied Cormorants
