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.
The Teals are beautiful, Carole! Wonderful post and photos. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I really like those Teal photos. I think I've seen the Blue-winged Teal, but neither of these you pictured here.
ReplyDeleteThe Advocet has a nifty beak.

Greetings Irma
Your pictures are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted shots on the water. These beautiful reflections on the water surface are fantastic.

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!
