Hi all,

 

Late Sunday, I was watching a flock of approx 100 Magpie Geese on a small
dam near my house when a single Black-necked Stork emerged from the tree
line and waded into the water.  I watched it for about 15mins before it
started getting too dark.  This was my first sighting of one, they sure are
a lovely bird, and big!

 

The bird watching club tells me they are not very common in this area.  I
know that in my time in Hervey Bay this is the 1st time I've seen one.

 

Made for a great end to the weekend (especially after seeing my first Owlet
Nightjar earlier in the day).

 

 

Happy Birding
