It had been a while since I had been down to the Cooks River to photograph the birdlife. I wandered down today with my camera to see what birds were around.
It was the middle of the day, and most birds seemed to be resting. The ducks were very quiet in the Cup and Saucer Creek Wetlands. So were the Ibis. There were couple of pelicans at the Boat Harbour – again resting.
A solitary Egret was wading in the harbour as well as a few ducks swimming around.
Further downstream, were a few Rainbow Lorikeets – having a good time finding nectar in the flame trees.
I kept on going downstream. Some small wagtails were too fast for me. I had a little more luck at the salt marsh near Gough Whitlam Park. One Willie Wagtail did pose for the lens.
And lots of Noisy Miners were noisy in the trees nearby.
I have added more photos to Page 5 of my Cooks River Bird Galleries.
