I took part in the early morning bird survey along the Waratah Mills section of The Greenway. The group meets on the fourth Saturday of the month at 7:30 am on the east side of Waratah Mills Light Rail Station.

While the group was forming, we were being serenaded by the call of a Grey Butcherbird –
Along the way, we spotted a lot of New Holland Honeyeaters –

This Australian White Ibis seems to have collected some nesting material –
The highlight of the survey was spotting this Leaden Flycatcher, a rare bird in the Inner West of Sydney.
I think the last one we had observed was in September 2020.

As usual, the group finished off with coffee and a chat in nearby cafe.
