This was another pleasant day spent at Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside with Sue. We were particularly looking for Azure Kingfishers and Pacific Bazas, but had no luck. We heard a Sacred Kingfisher, but could not spot it, and we also heard plenty of alarm calls – so there were probably some raptors around, but the most we got was a fleeting view. But, Nurragingy is always a great place to visit.
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Eastern Rosella
Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Rainbow Lorikeet
White Browed Scrubwren
Red Wattlebird
Bell Miner
Galah
A family of Maned Ducks –
Long Billed Corella
Superb Fairy Wren
Galah
A nesting Tawny Frogmouth –
Olive Backed Oriole
Laughing Kookaburra
White Faced Heron
It was bath time for these Noisy Miners –
White Faced Heron
I think the Heron had just caught some rubbish.
