The weather in the afternoon improved a lot compared to the wet weather of the morning, and I was keen to venture out again, so I travelled to North Strathfield and first visited Mason Park Wetlands. I then continued into Sydney Olympic Park and visited Lake Belvedere, the Bennelong Ponds and the Bicentennial Park Waterbird Refuge. I then went to Wentworth Common, Wo-lar-ra and finished off at Narawang Wetlands. This was fair walk!
I would have been happy to remain in one or two spots, but the birdlife was relatively poor compared to what it sometimes can be.
