| Sun 22 | | Australasian Bittern
Murphys Flat Wetlands |
|
| Murphys most beloved resident was present in the most fantastic way! I was photographing a goose across the river when, to my astonishment, I realised the bittern was perched out in the open! What followed was twenty minutes of uninterrupted views, the bittern hunching up against the cold and preening itself, about as contented as such a nervous creature can be! Also worth noting on this adventure were the displaying Musk Ducks and the lovely sight of my first Blue-winged Parrot for the season! eBird checklist |
