This was another interesting day spent in my local area photographing the birds. I stared by cycling along the Cooks River to check out how the tawny Frogmouths were doing. Then I continued along the cycleway to Barton Park and the Landing Lights Wetland.
On the Cooks River I checked out the nesting Tawny Frogmouths. First near Younger Avenue –
And then at the Dog Area –
At the Boat Harbour, I could not see a nest, but did spot one Tawny Frogmouth –
I then made my way to Landing Lights Wetland in Barton Park. Here are some fo the birds I saw.
Pied Stilt
This one was sitting on a nest.
It later got up to see if the eggs had hatched.
Some Pied Stilt chicks –
White-faced Heron
Black-fronted Dotterel
Sharp-tailed Sandpipers
Welcome Swallow
Fairy Martin
Around the wetlands were quite a few Golden Headed Cisticolas –
Up at Barton Park I spotted some Horsefield’s Bronze Cuckoos –
Some Yellow-rumped Thornbills –
And the usual Superb Fairy-wrens –
And some nice flying by a pair of Grey Teals –
