Teals and more, at the park

Wetlands at Sydney's Olympic Park


where these waders had been seen on  previous post - so what makes for a great bird hide?

White Ibis, Red-necked Avocet, and Black-winged Stilt


there were also these Chestnut Teal, way out there

.. and Grey Teal, caught napping, in the mid afternoon.

Great post! I really like those Teal photos. I think I've seen the Blue-winged Teal, but neither of these you pictured here.

Your pictures are wonderful.
I am delighted shots on the water. These beautiful reflections on the water surface are fantastic.
Have a happy weekend :)

Yes Carole bird hides are great as long as your companions stay quiet and are of the same mindset as you; intent on seeing the birds in all their glory, perhaps taking a picture or two then leaving without slamming the door!

Very nice shots Carole! I especially think that avocet is very pretty. I saw some of these on the coastal birding trip that I went on recently. Very nice!
