After I visited Barton Park, I later went to Sydney Park to see what birds were there.
I walked around the ponds, and did not see too much of interest.
In the large pond I spotted this Australasian Grebe –
And the Welcome Swallows were whizzing around hating for insects.
A Little Black Cormorant was fishing.
In the lowest pond, I was pleased to see the platform back open. I spotted two Australasian Grebes.
I looked around for Tawny Frogmouths but had no luck.
I then headed back to the large pond. Here are some sequences of the Welcome Swallows as they fly in and grab an insect off the water.
I had earlier spotted a Buff-banded Rail in the hinterland of the pond. It was briefly back out in the open.
I had also spotted at least one Lewin’s Rail – but was not quick enough to get photos.
