I was up early in the morning to get down to the Lang St Bridge over the Cooks River by 7 am in order to join the Mudlarks for the monthly bird survey. This month, the group was surveying downstream.
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Little Corellas
Some members of the group spotted a Long-billed Corella in the flock.
Grey Butcherbird
Eastern Rosella
This was one of four we spotted.
Australasian Figbirds
Red Wattlebird
This one has caught a cicada.
Striated Heron
Well done to the member of the group that spotted this juvenile Striated Heron.
Welcome Swallows
There were a lot of these sizing over the grass in the golf course.
