These garden reports are making me very jealous. My Sydney suburban
garden shows very little seasonal variation. Without spending much
time in it at the weekend I noticed only the usual suspects; i.e.
Noisy Miners, rainbow lorikeets, Turtledoves, magpies, common
mynahs, s c cockatoos, Red wattlebirds down the street and not nuch
more.
I did do a 7 km walk round the water in a nearby suburb, Drummoyne
and noticed the following (we do this walk for exercise and I am not
allowed to stop for birds):
silver gulls, pied cormorants, little? black cormorants, pelican,
bar-tailed godwits, spur winged plovers, currawong, magpies,
magpie larks, willie wag tail, ravens, welcome swallows, rock
doves, common mynahs, noisy miners, red wattlebirds, white plumed
honeyeaters, sparrows, starlings, turtledoves, bul-buls,
black-faced cuckoo shrike, rainbow lorikeets and no doubt more that I
cannot remember at the moment. No striated heron, pacific black
ducks , pied stilts or terns this Sunday.
