I joined Valerie and Sue at Sydney Park for a morning excursion. We wandered around talking and looking for birds.
Galah
Tawny Frogmouths
We spotted this nesting pair, but when we looked for the other nesting pair that I had spotted the week before – we found no sign of them and only a remnant of their nest. Last week I had seen one chick. We looked in nearby trees hoping the chick had fledged, but had emo luck spotting it or its parents. I think it is likely that the chick may have fallen out of the nest in a storm since I last visited. The nest was quite high in a tree.
Rainbow Lorikeet
Australian Reed-Warbler
This Willie Wagtail is still on its nest, but I think there may be chicks.
Australasian Grebe
Channel-billed Cuckoo
A pair of Brown Goshawks circled over the park at one stage.
