It was the second Saturday of the month – the time for the Tempe Birdos to conduct their survey of Tempe Wetlands and Tempe Reserve. This was our first survey for a long time due to the lockdown.
I was in the group that surveyed the wetlands, and t was relatively quiet. Here are some of the birds we saw –
Eurasian Coot
Sacred Kingfisher
Laughing Kookaburras
Pacific Black Ducks
Dusky Moorhen with chick
Willie Wagtail
Superb fairy-wrens

I first visited the nesting pair of tawny Frogmouths. It was good to se they had a chick (see top photo). Here is the second parent (female) –
