Barker Wetlands is startingto fire with plenty of water and some of the Spring/Summer species turning up.
These are from a couple of weeks ago that I have just got around to having a look at.
Wood Sandpiper and Common Greenshank were the start of the shorebirds but there were also Red-capped Plover and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.
Whiskered Tern, White-necked Heron and a couple of nesting Kites as well. No photos of the Kites as I didn't want to get too close.
Great one of the white-necked heron. They've still managed to elude me...

They are all great shots but that first one is amazing!
Great shots Rick. you certainly have a good eye for photography.
There would be three new specieces for me here. Must get down that way soon although looking at the weather forcast for SA 38° C, I might hang-off a while. Does the Glue-pot supply air-conditioned bird hides? (where's the emoticons gone??).

Very nice photos (as always) Rick - tern shot is fantastic, seems to be looking at its own reflection. Clever trick #3 is doing with the water in mid air above its back.
