I spent another nice day looking for birds at the wetlands at Wyong.
on the walk to the wetlands, I saw a Masked Lapwing –
and a White-breasted Woodswallow –
Two White-faced Herons flew past –
When I arrived, there was another birder there. We spent some time looking at a distant bird. It was a Wood Sandpiper –
He also pointed out, that nearby was a Buff-banded Rail –
Here are some more birds from the wetland –
Little Pied Cormorants
This one has caught something – a snake or perhaps an eel?
Australasian Darters
Australian Pelicans
Cattle Egrets
Here are some birds in the forest –
Superb Fairy-wren
Eastern Whipbird
Tawny Grassbird
Willie Wagtail
Olive-backed Oriole
Later, as I was leaving, I saw this bird fly out of the grass near one of the ponds. I think it is a Latham’s Snipe
And a Swamp Harrier was hunting a long way off –
And later, looking at my photos, I found there was a Straw-necked Ibis amongst the Cattle Egrets –
