Hi all,
Spent a week birding in WA from the 9-16 of July.
Saw a total of 102 species from the areas of Perth, Geraldton & Cue.
Spent a day in Perth City observed many of the usual locals like Rainbow
Lorikeet, Singing Honeyeater & Laughing Dove also saw large numbers of Darter
around the swan river, up to 7 seen in a group perched upon a jetty.
Drove north to Gerladton seeing quite a few species along the way notably
Short-billed Black Cockatoo,Western Corella,Western Rosella, large flocks of
silvereye, and an Osprey feeding on a large fish at Leeman Bay.
Moved further north to Kalbarri national park and trekked the Murchison River
walking track, saw quite a few species here including dozens of lone Grey
Fantails everywhere, Inland and Chestnut-rumped thornbill, two Fairywren
species,Blackeared Cuckoo and many pairs of Red-capped Robin.
Travelled out west to Cue saw many of species seen in the previous locations
along with Crested Bellbird,Ground Cuckooshrike & Grey-crowned Babbler, Lake
Austin which is east of Cue had a fair level of water and produced hundreds of
Shelduck & Grey Teal, Red-necked Avocet and the two Stilt species Banded being
least common.
Saw an unidentified water flying over head of Lake Austin, notes tell me it had
a noticable white underside, medium length black bill, distinct eyebrow and was
making a very far crying piercing shriek as it flew over head into the distance
sounding not unlike a call of a magpie.
