After visit Nurragingy, on the way home, I detoured to Concord West, and then walked into Sydney Olympic Park. I visited the Waterbird Refuge at Bicentennial Park and then the ponds of Wentworth Common. I also visited the Brickpit and the Woo-la-ra hill. This was late afternoon, and I wanted to see what birds were out during those hours.
Dollarbird
In the Waterbird Refuge, I saw the usual birds. But didn’t see any raptors at Woo-la-ra. Other birds that I was after were Crakes and Rails at Wentworth Common – I had no luck.
Here is a White-faced Heron –
There were a fair number of Black-fronted Dotterels in the Waterbird Refuge –
And a lot of Pied Stilts –
And a fair number of Red-necked Avocets –
Here are some more Black-fronted Dotterels –
Here are some Chestnut Teals from Wentworth Common –
On my way back to the station, I photographed this family of Pacific Black Ducks.
