Hi Ed
That's a great day's work.
.
Photo 2 - what's the brown-fronted birds to the left of the Egret and Ibis? Is it a very dirty female Darter?
I blew up the image as far as I could, and it seems to have the "snake bird" head. But I am not sure.
.
Great outing, obviously.
.
Cheers

Gidday Ed, all of those are superb shots mate,well done.
You seem to have a few Fan Tailed Cuckoos up there mate I have not seen them here.
Denis, I was wondering the same about that bird you mentioned and I am certain that it is a Darter.
My fave is the stork and the red-back.
well done, mate.. top shots..

I can only echo the praise of others on this catch, ed. Having such a diversity of birds on your town common is only to be envied.
