An early start on a cold day – to meet the Mudlarks at 7:30 am on the Lang Street Footbridge for the monthly birds survey. This survey was going downstream – to do the Wave Rock Loop.
Eastern Rosella
Here are some of the birds we saw –
Rainbow Lorikeet
Australian Wood Ducks
Red-rumped Parrots (and Starlings)
Little Black Cormorant
Australasian Figbird
Great Cormorant
These birds were at the Dibble Street Waterhole –
Pacific Black Duck
Chestnut Teal and Dusky Moorhen
And there were a pair of Tawny Frogmouths –
Now back to the Golf Course.
Australasian Figbird
Part of the Golf Course was being mowed. This attracted a large number of Welcome Swallows –
And in the next two photos, there is a Tree Martin on the bottom –
Laughing Kookaburra
More Welcome Swallows –
Little Black Cormorants
As usual, the group finished off with morning tea. I then headed back down the Cooks River to see what other birds were around.
