The second Saturday of the month is the time for the Tempe Birdos bird survey at Tempe Wetlands and Reserve.
This survey was notable for the number of nesting birds we observed.
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Magpie Larks
Australian Magpie
Willie Wagtails
Eastern Koels
Superb fairy-wrens
Red Wattlebird
After morning tea, I cycled home via the Cooks River and checked out some of the Tawny Frogmouths.
Younger Avenue
Dog Area
Boat Harbour
Love your photos Dave – I’ve been chasing some of those same birds around Tempe (notably the koels) with a lot less success, so its great to see your photos. I haven’t seen frogmouths for years, and yet you show me 3 just up the river – will have to get out my bicycle and go and try to find some.
There is supposed to be nesting Tawny Frogmouths is Gough Whitlam Park, and another pair in Mackey Park.
