Report - Wednesday Walk to Lake Ginninderra (Wed 16 February 2005)

We parked at the police boat ramp and walked west along the lake shore. The weather was perfect and the birds very active. The birdlist started with a pair of highflying Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos and we soon had Reed-Warblers carrying food and good looks at Dusky Woodswallows with young. A flock of Tree Martins entertained us for a while as did a mixed flock of Crimson and Eastern Rosellas and Red-rumped Parrots. We failed to find the Nankeen Night Herons but did see a Sacred Kingfisher for a total of 37 species.
