It was a very hot day. I was feeling a bit restless, so decided on a short walk along part of the Cooks River would be OK. It was – but I found conditions were unpleasant.
I was looking to see if any of the local pairs of Tawny Frogmouths were nesting. I checked their locations – but as well as not spotting any nests, I didn’t spot a single Tawny Frogmouth.
Here are some of the birds I saw – between Marrickville Golf Course and Canterbury Road,
Grey Butcherbird
Crested Pigeon
Dusky Moorhen
Pacific Black Duck
Little Pied Cormorant
And painted on a fence – a sign of the times –
Laughing Kookaburra
Magpie
Magpie Lark
Little Pied Cormorant
