Chuin Nee had invited me to join her and her young son Jasper on a bike ride along the Cooks River Cycleway. We rode from Dulwich Hill to the river and then along to Tempe.
We then crossed the Princess Highway and went into Tempe Reserve and crossed the Alexandria Canal and joined the cycleway past the airport, where we did some place spotting. We also observed a distant bird of prey, circling around looking for prey above the container depot near the airport.
Back at Tempe Reserve, Jasper enjoyed the zipline in the park.
We then headed to the Tempe Wetland to look for birds. We first observed some baby swamphens and then a Spoonbill.
We then headed back to the Cooks River Cycleway and had lunch at the Cafe at Gough Whitlam Park.
Then back up the Cooks River to Dulwich Hill again. Chuin Nee and Jasper headed to the light rail station while I continued up the cycleway to the Boat Harbour and the Dog Area to see if I could see and Tawny Frogmouth chicks. I saw the parents but no babies were visible.
