It was a nice warm dry day, so I caught a train to Emu Plains and walked to Emu Green Reserve. I had a late start and didn’t arrive till close to noon. But the birds seemed quite active. Perhaps a bit too active – as many were too fast to stand still for a photo.
On my previous visit, I had seen quite a few raptors. I didn’t see as many this time, but they were still the highlight.
As I walked in, along the lane, I heard, and then saw this Golden-headed Cisticola –
New Holland Honeyeater
Eastern Yellow Robin
I looked up and spotted a White-bellied Sea Eagle. It was being harassed by a Raven.
Here are some Red-browed Finches –
Perhaps the most frequent bird I saw were Grey Fantails –
On the road the abuts the prison farm, I saw this Brown Falcon –
And a little further along, I spotted a Brown Goshawk –
Another Grey Fantail –
And the White-bellied Sea Eagle was a little closer.
Lewin’s Honeyeater
Satin Bowerbird
Sacred Kingfisher
White-browed Scrubwren
Red-browed Finches
Eastern Yellow Robin
Superb Fairy-wren
Brown Thornbill
Silvereye
European Goldfinch
The White-bellied Sea Eagle was back.
Then I noticed a second Sea Eagle –
I was hoping to get the two Sea Eagles in the one shot, but then I spotted the Brown Falcon again. It was perched in small tree.
And a few birds I saw as I left. A Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike –
Common Blackbird
