This time we watched the birds from the top floor of Queensland Parks and Wildlife's splendid hide at Hastie's Swamp near Atherton, FNQ.
Plumed whistling ducks (
Dendrocygna eytoni)
Azure kingfisher (
Ceyx azura)
White-breasted sea eagle (
Haliaetus leucogaster) a long way away
Comb-crested jacana (
Jacana gallinacea), also a long way away
Intermediate egret (
Ardea intermedia) (What sort of unimaginative name is that?)
Swamp hen (
Porphyrio porphyrio) hanging out with the whistling ducks
You didn't think I was going to leave without photographing this fellow? An Australasian grebe (
Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) being uncharacteristically nonchalant.
