I headed to Tempe Wetlands early in the morning to join the Tempe Birdos for their monthly bird survey.
Superb Fairy Wren
Early on one of the members noticed a Willie Wagtail sitting on a nest fairly close to one of the tracks. We had to be very careful watching the bird as we did not want to disturb the bird.
Here are some of the other birds we observed –
Australasian Grebe
Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike
Dusky Moorhen chick
Butcher Bird (juvenile)
Butcher Bird and chick
Pacific Black Duck
Skink
Red Browed Finch
New Holland Honeyeater
After finishing the survey, we then went to nearby Tempe Reserve for morning tea. And what a morning tea – a special Christmas morning tea with lots of great food and some nice drinks.
I then headed back to the Wetlands for a few more photos –
