Mixed Bag

Just had to take a photo of these cute little swans at the local park. The Fairy Gerygone was taken at Lower Wonga and the Rose Robin was taken at Cooloola Cove. The  Mallard is a hybrid with the Pacific Black Duck.

Fairy Gerygone (Gerygone palpebrosa)

Mallard (Hybrid Female)(Anas platyrhynchos)

Rose Robin (Female)(Petroica rosea)

The Rose Robin migrates in Winter from down South. Not sure if we are having a Winter this year, as it was 28 degrees on the Friday and 30 degrees on Saturday.

For more birds visit Wild Bird Wednesday.

Glastonbury Creek Take Two

No luck on having the Rufous Fantail showing itself on this visit, but did manage the Fairy Gerygone which I did not  get a photo of while on the camp.

For some reason this sign is at all the grids on the road into the Glastonbury Creek Camping Area.

Large-billed Scrubwren (Sericornis magnirostris)

Little Shrike-thrush (Colluricincla megarhyncha)

While the Large-billed Scrubwren looks to be gathering nesting material, the Little Shrike-thrush looks to be in a bit of a tangle, and the Rose Robin looks cute standing there.
