Birds at Cupitts Lane – 25 August 2023

I decided on another visit to Cupitts Lane on the Richmond Lowlands. This time I visited entirely by public transport – taking a train to Windsor and then a bus to a stop at the RAAF base near the start of Cupitts Lane. It was quite a long journey in time! Also, this was my first visit during the week, the previous tow visits being on Saturdays. And things were quite different! Lots of trucks were travelling up and down the lane involved in a work site nearby.

Also – the birds were a lot quieter than on both previous visits. I ddi see two Nankeen Kestrels quite close, but the Black-shouldered Kites I saw were very distant. And, again, no Azure Kingfisher appearance.

Superb Fairy-wren
