I spent a pleasant day walking around the paths and trails of Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside. I also took a camera along and managed to get a few photos of the birdlife.
When I visit the reserve, I always look for the pair of Azure Kingfishers. Sure enough, I spotted one a few times during the day. As usual, though, the kingfisher was hard to photograph – perching on branches that were hard to get a clear view of. Here are some photos –
At the duckponds, I spotted a young Australasian Grebe –
And a Little Pied Cormorant –
It was being bothered by a pest.
I was at the reserve fro exercise, and ended up walking around the perimeter fire trail three times during my visit. I did not see a lot of birds, and on each walk, I spotted different birds.
Crested Shrike-tit
Superb Fairy-wrens
Brown Thornbill
White-browed Scrubwren
Yellow Thornbill
Golden Whistler
And for some parrots –
Rainbow Lorikeets
Galahs
And, lastly, a Turtle –
