Popped in to Telopea Park at lunch time today to look for corellas, found 2 Long-billed amongst 50+ Little. They, and the SC Cockatoos, seemed to be very unsettled, constantly flying around and making a huge racket. Eventually I figured out why; way, way overhead an adult WB Sea Eagle circling with a light morph Little Eagle nearby, presumably on the same thermal. A bonus!

 

Stopped at Aspen island on the way home, no Pied Cormorants but Darters and the other 3 cormorants were present, including 50+ Little Blacks fishing in the lake. Nice views of a Water Rat – a quite dark individual that lacked a white tail tip. I don’t think I have seen one without the white on the tail before. In any case, it was very tame.

 

Cheers
