I took part in the Greenway Bird Survey along the Hawthorne Canal between Taverners Hill and Hawthorne Light Rail Stations. The weather had turned quite cold – and this resulted in not that many birds being active. Particularly at Taverners Hill Light Rail Station.
Perhaps one reason, the birds were quiet at Taverners Hill could be that a Brown Goshawk flew over –
But a few birds did eventually appear –
New Holland Honeyeater
Red-whiskered Bulbul
Red Wattlebird
Along the path/cycleway we saw few birds until we reached Marion Street.
Striated Heron
Along the canal, we spotted a pair of Grey Fantails –
White-faced Heron
Welcome Swallow
