I'm at that spot in the Kingston foreshores area with the artificial wetlands
(can't remember the name)
As soon as I arrived I heard the distinctive "eez" of a Greenfinch and soon
spotted it (plus a few others). I assume they are breeding here as this bird is
sitting high in a casuarina giving out his call.
Funny how Greenfinches persist through the decades in low numbers, you think
they'd either go extinct, or expand.
Also Goldfinches, RR Parrots, Reedwarblers, but no crakes or rails except
Moorhens and Swamphens.
Oh, and an unwelcome non-native, a Mallard.
