Went for a wander yesterday to Totness Reserve & Laratinga Wetlands.
Though very hot there were still enough birds around to make the trip worthwhile.
Finch and Thornbill at Totness the rest at a fast drying out Laratinga.

I had never heard of Totness Reserve. What is it like?
I'm looking for some more areas around Adelaide.
Hi AJS,
It's a small reserve just a few minutes out of Mount Barker on the Old Mount Barker rd, Milne Rd entrance.
Only a small reserve but a nice variety of birds.
Red Browed Finches, Superb Wrens, Striated Thornbills, various Honeyeaters and saw a Mistletoe bird yesterday but didn't get a decent shot.
Basically it's a small track around the edge of the lake with some associated woodland.
There is another section of the reserve on the other side of the freeway that is a little harder to access, have only been once for a short time but looks promising.
You can actually get to it via a stormwater culvert running from the lake side under the freeway but it is a fair distance to walk doubled over and my back was killing by the time I got there. let alone the return.
Hope this helps.
That's a good haul for the day. Love that Thornbill.
Samford Valley Qld.
Great shots and good variety too.
Lovely photos .... BF Dotterel is beautiful shot.
Nice shots as usual Rick.
I love the Dotterels, especially the Red-kneed Dotterel, haven'st seen one of them before.
Agree with all above comments! Superb shots.
Thanks all for your comments. A couple of nice spots close to home.
Also good feeling to get some nice results when conditions aren't so good.
