Compared to some of my other visits to this wetland at Wyong, this one was relatively quiet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was after photos of Emu-wrens and also some of raptors. I did not see any Emu-wrens, but I did some raptors – but none very close. <\/p>\n

As I walked in, I looked over towards the Whistling Kite<\/strong> nest. The \u00a0nest now looked deserted – I guess the chick I could see last visit has now fledged. I could see one Whistling Kite perched in the tree near the nest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Closer to the Wetland, I spotted this Pipit<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is a Great Egret<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the Pioneer Creek Walk, I saw this Pied Butcherbird<\/strong> – one of a breeding pair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And in the distance, I did see a nice Swamp Harrier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And, also a long way off, was this Whistling Kite<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Another raptor flew past at high speed. It was a Peregrine Falcon<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New back to some of the other birds. First Pelicans<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Along the other creek, I spotted some Superb Fairy-wrens<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Lewin’s Honeyeater<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Some Variegated Fairy-wrens<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And a Eastern Spinebill<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Back in the paddock, here is a Galah<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And a Long-billled Corella<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I only saw a single Cattle Egret<\/strong>\u00a0 –<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is a Magpie Lark<\/strong> in flight –<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

A long way off, as I was about to head home, I spotted these two Whistling Kites<\/strong> –<\/p>\n
