The weather forecast was for showers, but I was keen to get outdoors, so after consulting the weather radar, I jumped on a train to Doonside and then spent a pleasant day at Nurragingy Reserve. It did rain, quite heavily, but only for about twenty minutes, and I sat in a shelter and waited for it to stop.
The birds were a bit quiet compared to some previous visits, but there are always some nice birds to be found. Most of the interesting birds I found along the perimeter fire road which I visited three times during my stay.
One bird, that I had not photographed before was a Noisy Friarbird. I was please to spot two of them that stared around long enough for some photos.
Here are some of the other birds –
Olive-backed Oriole
Brown Thornbill
Crested Shrike-tit
Black-faced Cuckooshrike
Grey Butcherbird
Australasian Grebe
Little Pied Cormorant
Australian Wood Duck
Eurasian Coot
Little Correllas
Superb Fairywren
Eastern Long-necked Turtle
Another nice visit to this reserve.
