Tempe Bird Survey – 14 January 2023

I joined the Tempe Birdos for their monthly bird survey. This month I was in the group surveying the Tempe Wetlands.

During most of the survey it was raining, so a lot of birds were under shelter in the vegetation.  Here are some of the birds we saw –

Dusky Moorhen –

The one above is sitting on a nest. There we some chicks and juveniles in the lower pond –

Here is a female Australasian Figbird –

In the second pond, there was a Dusky Moorhen and a number of Pacific Black Ducks –

More Dusky Moorhen in the third pond –

And a frog –

Australian Reed Warbler –

Then we headed to Tempe Reserve to meet the other group that had been surveying there, and we had morning tea. A pleasant morning.
