A quick trip to the Poo Ponds after work. The air was warm, still, and on the nose. The insects were very friendly, and the main target bird nowhere to be found. Having said all of that, an enjoyable experience, especially the sunset
There were lots of Australian Pratincoles, and all the usual ducks, Avocets and Stilts. Sandpipers seemed to be staying away from where I was. A Whistling Kite seemed to be struggling a bit with the heat, either perched or flying, tongue hanging out
There were a couple of Yellow-billed Spoonbills, swishing side to side, and this Glossy Ibis was nearby
There are a large number of Whiskered Terns constantly swooping the top of the ponds for insects
One of the few sandpipers that caught my eye was this Wood Sandpiper, nicely perched on a rock
