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.

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

  8. 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!

  13. 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!

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.
