I was able to join the Tempe Birdos for their monthly bird survey. After meeting, at Tempe Wetlands at 7:30 to 8 am, I joined the group surveying the wetlands. The other group surveys Tempe Reserve.
Compared to other days, it was fairly quiet at the wetlands. Here are some of the birds we saw –
Red Wattlebird
New Holland Honeyeater
Dusky Moorhen
About 9:30 we finished up, and then headed over to Tempe Reserve to join the other group for morning tea. On the way I spotted a lot of stinkhorns out (Phallus rubicundus) –
White we were having morning tea, an Osprey flew over. It was being “escorted” by some ravens. Ravens are fairly rare visitors in the area.
