I spent an enjoyable day wandering around Oatley Park with Digi Dave. We photographed mainly birds and a few orchids.
We were on the lookout for a Osprey nest, that we heard could be seen from one of the lookouts. We eventually spotted it – it was quite distant.
Near the lookout were quite a few birds. It was good to see a Sacred Kingfisher –
And some Yellow-faced Honeyeaters.
There were quite a few Spotted Pardalotes around.
And several Thornbills –
Brown Thornbill
Striated Thornbill
As well as some of the more common birds –
Laughing Kookaburra
Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Little Wattlebird
Rainbow Lorikeets
In the wetlands, a Little Pied Cormorant and a landing teal.
And some Caladenia Orchids –
And some spring fungi –
Polyporus arcularius
as well as the Water Dragons hanging around the creek –
And a harder resident to spot – a Turtle –
