Beach, Albany, Two Peoples Bay
7 November 2019
June and I were back down to the hide early the next morning, passing an Australian Ibis in a neighbouring garden en route.
Mostly the usual species, but not all available for photographs. A White-faced Heron was about the closest to us, then an Australian Pelican flew in to join his mate, buzzing some Greenshank as he went.
Also in the bay were Grey Plover, Great Cormorant, Caspian Tern, Great Knot (not actually a Lifer but the first one in Australia and a year tick. Sadly couldn't get a picture of Greater Sand Plover, Yellow-billed Spoonbill, Black Swan, Silver Gull, Great Egret, Grey Teal, Little Pied Cormorant, an Eastern Osprey on his favourite post and Little Black Cormorant.
Walking back we heard and got glimpses of a Western Gerygone but couldn't get a picture of him either! Nor a Western Whistler and New Holland Honeyeater!! Had to make do with a Red Wattlebird on a power pole and a very attractive a Western Rosella eating some weed seeds.
