I made a second visit to Nepean Weir to photograph the birdlife. Like the first trip, I was looking for Painted Honeyeaters – but had no luck observing any. It was also a hot day, and I left just after lunch.
White-winged Triller
One of the birds I had seen in abundance on the first trip were Dusky Woodswallows. There were plenty this trip too – including a pair feeding young chicks.
And some of the Honeyeaters –
Lewin’s Honeyeater
New Holland Honeyeater
Some of the other birds –
Superb Fairy-wrens
Brown Quail
This bird was constantly running on the ground in tall grass, making it very hard to photograph.
White-winged Triller
Rufous Whistler?
Grey Fantail
I went to the picnic area for lunch under the shade of one of the covered picnic tables. On the way I spotted a juvenile Sea Eagle.
And a White-faced Heron –
It was now quite hot, so I decided to walk to Penrith Station and make my way home.
