Stu already went out birdwatching today, but late afternoon he thought he'd go out to Giralang Pond, so I said only if I can come too. So logged off work a little early and off we went.
Great egret
Several people stopped and asked us what we were looking at when we found these yellow-rumped thornbills
Black swans are nesting on the island
This willie wagtail was flitting around this log
A white-faced heron and some bin chickens at the stormwater drain inlet
Crested pigeon
Sulphur-crested cockatoo
Stu was scanning the trees for roosting birds and couldn't see anything. So I was surprised he missed this straw-necked ibis and nankeen night heron. All I saw was a dark tan blob. Stu was excited to see one in the ACT, his first since counting this year.
We were out for nearly two hours all up, a good way to get a bit of exercise.
