I was at Nurraginy Reserve yesterday and what an extraordinary spot it is.
Standing overlooking an open drain by a wire net fence (look for the bottle)
for 40 minutes from 3pm on a grey overcast day - birds came from everywhere
and not at all ones I expected to see.
The Regent Honeyeater kept me riveted to the spot but without moving more
than a metre I photographed on the fly about a dozen birds. Most already
have been mentioned but there was also Sacred Kingfisher, Dove - possibly
Emerald, Crested Shrike-tit, Jacky Winter - maybe, Fan-tailed Cuckoo. Check
them out below and any help with the queries would be appreciated.
