Whistling Kite

A former quarry and dump, Putta Bucca Wetlands is now slowly developing into a recognized bird habitat, close to Mudgee township.

  3. Great photos of the Whistling Kite and it's good to know that a "mess" like a dump can be transformed into a wetland.

  17. Putta Bucca!!! What a name. I guess this one was easy to see although he is well camouflaged.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
