It had been a long time since I had been able to visit the Central Coast Wetland at Wyong. I travelled up by train and spent a great day at the site.
Here are some of the birds I saw. First near the large main pond. A lot of the birds were far away – on the far side or too far away for photos. I looked for any visitors but did not see any unusual birds. Here are some more common ones –
Australasian Darter
Black Swans
Pelicans
And some of the birds around the hinterland –
Sacred Kingfisher
Black-shouldered Kite
Dollarbird
Grey Butcherbird
Pied Butcherbird
Pacific Koel and Willie Wagtail
Tawny Grassbird
Satin Bowerbird
Australasian Figbird
Red-rumped Parrot
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
Willie Wagtail
Little Corella
The first area was relatively quiet. Here are some birds –
Striated Thornbill
Variegated Fairy-wren
I walked around the forest loop twice and on the second trip, I could see two raptors flying above the nearby farmland. I think they are an adult and a juvenile Whistling Kites.
