Nice selection of pictures Neil. That pipit would present some identification problems to me - theree are just so many of the larger pipits. I'm going to Google it and thanks for your picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds and nice to see their habitat and the birding trail. The Golden Whistler is one of my favorite but I also love the Flycatcher! Happy birding and have a great day!

the flycatcher is really striking! the swamphen is like what we call a purple gallinule. really unique.
ReplyDeleteNice habitat for wildlife..thank you for the comment regarding my Mom, I appreciate it..Michelle
ReplyDeleteNice assortment of birds. Our American Pipits are just arriving here in Illinois. Back home in Florida, our home was nearly at the center of the first released of Purple Swamphens that are now spreading widely despite an extermination campaign.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series of shots Neil!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorites are the Pipit and the Flycatcher.
A great series but the Pipit on the fence post is especially beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely and interesting place. You certainly captured a variety of beautiful birds.
