I spent the Saturday morning bird watching and photographing. Early on, I joined the Tempe Birdos for their monthly bird survey. After morning tea, I cycled home slowly along the Cooks River seeing what birds were out.
At Tempe, I joined the group surveying the wetlands. Birdwise – it was fairly quiet. Here are some of the birds we saw – a Red Wattlebird and a Superb Fairy-wren.
We also saw a cat at one of the ponds. Not good!
Along the Cooks River, I spotted the Tawny Frogmouths nesting near Younger Avenue.
At the Boat Harbour, there were plenty of Cormorants on the boom.
And in the mangroves a Striated Heron was lurking.
A Little Pied Cormorant flies past.
And a Grey Butcherbird.
