Weekend in Port Macquarie area, NSW

[Penny Brockman <>]

Hi all,

Port Macquarie area, Northern beaches, NSW

Visited Seale Road swamps on 12 July 2 - 2.30pm - which was full of 
water, water birds and ducks.  Best bird was a Forest Kingfisher sitting 
at the top of a thin paperbark.  At least 37 Glossy Ibis and uncountable 
Grey Teal, Black Duck and Black Swans with cygnets at all stages.  Only 
raptors were Swamp Harriers and Whistling Kites  Further north along the 
creek were a large group of Royal Spoonbill roosting on a fallen tree in 
the water - at least 40. Too much water to see any waders.
Also about 1pm on Maria River Road at Oaklands Angus Stud were a pair of 
Brolgas - not there when we drove back past an hour later.
