Hear some of the 'seconds' from my good photos from the trip.
White Plumed Honeyeater(?)
Blue Faced Honeyeater
Noisy Miner
Wood Duck Family
Pacific Black Duck
Albino Rock Dove??
Hardhead or white-eyed duck
Some type of BoP
Crested Tern with it's head cut off I think. If someone could resize it would be greatly appreciated.
Banded Stilt (or black winged) along with two other sandpiper things.
Silvereye (first ever!)
Rufous Whistler - hearing their song was a treat.
Juvenile Grey Fantail, I don't think it's a rufous. My camera couldn't seem to focus on them, they flew right around my head catching things.
New Holland Honeyeater, I have better photos but yet to upload them.
Crimson Rosella
PBD Family
Greylag Goose
Little Pied Cormorant with 'stained' or 'rusty' plumage.
And finally, another swan cygnet.
Hope you enjoy the leftovers :)
Gidday mate,looks like you are having a ball.
Love the Cygnet, but the best part was you description of the "Sandpiper thingies" thanks mate. :)
Hi Amature, another good set of photo's, they can't all be the best photo.
Cheers

YAY! Thanks Al, I've been wondering if it was a juv. black shouldered kite or juv. letter-winged kite since I took the photos. Oh yes, and can anyone ID those "sandpiper things" I thought it was a rather good description as well Tassie.
