Compared to some of my other visits to this wetland at Wyong, this one was relatively quiet.
I was after photos of Emu-wrens and also some of raptors. I did not see any Emu-wrens, but I did some raptors – but none very close.
As I walked in, I looked over towards the Whistling Kite nest. The nest now looked deserted – I guess the chick I could see last visit has now fledged. I could see one Whistling Kite perched in the tree near the nest.
Closer to the Wetland, I spotted this Pipit –
And here is a Great Egret –
On the Pioneer Creek Walk, I saw this Pied Butcherbird – one of a breeding pair.
And in the distance, I did see a nice Swamp Harrier.
And, also a long way off, was this Whistling Kite –
Another raptor flew past at high speed. It was a Peregrine Falcon –
New back to some of the other birds. First Pelicans –
Along the other creek, I spotted some Superb Fairy-wrens –
A Lewin’s Honeyeater –
Some Variegated Fairy-wrens –
And a Eastern Spinebill –
Back in the paddock, here is a Galah –
And a Long-billled Corella –
I only saw a single Cattle Egret –
And here is a Magpie Lark in flight –
A long way off, as I was about to head home, I spotted these two Whistling Kites –
