Heard but not Seen.

As I started the walk along the track I could hear the loud ekk  ekk ekk call that this Kingfisher was making. But it wasn't until the end of the track and walk that I finally found this bird.

First Heard.

The noise that these two Yellow-tailed black Cockatoo's made on there arrival was loud. And it wasn't long before I had them in the scope.

Walking on Water.

Made a visit to the Minjungbal Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Tweed Heads. This White-faced Heron was quite content patrolling the mangroves. http://minjungbalacc.my-free.website/

Balcony Birding

Spent the morning watching this Blue-faced Honeyeater feeding on the Honey gem bush.

An Elegant Wader.

This Black-winged Stilt made a great subject for this Set of Photo's. A very elegant wader and one I always enjoy watching.

Stalking Heron.

Another species from Eagleby was this White-necked Heron, which was stalking the margins with such grace.

A bowl of Spoonbills.

While I was photographing the Fairy Wren. A bowl of Royal Spoonbills. A bowl is the collective noun for Spoonbill. Could be heard as they flew low over head and landed in a more secluded pool. It wasn't long before I managed to locate them. 

Eagleby Fairy.

This Red-backed Fairy Wren was one of the first birds seen on a recent trip to the Eagleby nature reserve in Queensland, Australia.
