Birding at the creek.

Hi All.

Julian Teh and I went birding at Gininnderra Creek this morning. As it was Julian's first time there, I took him to the ponds in Dunlop.  As predicted, the cygnets were with their mother, and decided to say hello to us.  Exploration of a windbreak near the first pond resulted in some scarlet robins, fairy wrens, YR thornbills, white cheeked honeyeater and a boobook owl (being pestered by all of the above).  On the way back home, a satin bowerbird/cicadabird thing-a-me flew up into a tree near the bridge between Latham and Macgregor.  It didn't stay around long enough to be identified.

All in all, even though it started off cold and foggy, we saw some nice birds.

Matt.
