After the Greenway Bird Survey, I travelled to Sydney Park where I met up with Sue. I wanted to show her the Pacific Baza but despite a lot of looking, and listening, we could not find it. So we then travelled down to Barton Park to see what birds were there. We had a very pleasant day out.
Here is a selection of photos from each of the parks.

Osprey
We were having our lunch at the end of the Spring St Canal, when we saw an Osprey flying up Muddy Creek with a nice fish.
We followed it up to where it landed.
I think the Silver Gulls wanted a bit of the fish rather than wanting the osprey to leave.
Back at the end of the Spring St Canal, a Striated Heron was hunting.
Red-browed Finch
White-faced Heron
And it got a shock when the Striated Heron landed nearby.
We visited Landing Lights Wetland, but it was very quiet.
