Some action down on the wetlands. Seems that spoonbills and stilts do not always get on well.

Here we have a big bunch of birds flying by. Straw-necked ibises, not to be confused with Australian bin chickens.

Down the wetlands after the showers this afternoon.

 

Another blue-billed duck photo. I really like these creatures.

 

I was photographing this New Holland Honeyeater when it decided to take off.

 

A common greenshank as the tide was coming in. Trying new camera settings.

In the Williamstown Botanic Garden, the Sunday morning peace was shattered by a wild fight.

 

 

Scared off some of the locals

A family outing with the quintuplets (Dad was over to the right trying to persuade me to move along).

Before bedtime, an adult and juvenile Goldfinch. In the same tree, so probably family.

A couple of different bird groupings from different parts of Williamstown.

 

Some welcome swallows bracing against the strong breezes off the bay.

 

Hungry chicks. Depending where you are from in Australia, they are magpie larks, mud larks, or peewees.
