Bird is the word!
Jun. 17th, 2004 02:45 pmNew bird!! - Chestnut Breasted Mannikin (Lonchura castaneothorax)
Seen today at Herdsman Lake. They are native up north but there are few escaped populations around lakes in Perth. I know there is one at Bibra Lake and today I spotted the small population at Herdsman - they were flitting among the reeds.
The rain held out until I got to the dredger where the cormorants nest then I had to make a mad dash back to the car when it started to rain. As it is now winter the water level has risen considerably and there are no waders around because all the wading areas are now covered in water. Ducks and coots are just as abundant as ever. Lots of grey teals today.
( Todays's list )
I'm glad I went to the area where the bush birds are abundant. I had gerygones and fantails flitting about right near me and this is where I spotted the mannikins.
