Fivebough Swamp 2, Leeton
January 1st, 2009
Happy New Year! I went around Fivebough again at dawn and saw some dotterels, sandpipers, a black-shouldered Kite, and lots of ducks. Plus lots of other stuff.
Golden-headed Cisticola
Australian Spotted Crake
Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
Pacific Black Ducks
Black-shouldered Kite
At 10am I drove to the Gogeldrie Weir and sat under an oak tree reading a book, which was very nice and relaxing. In the late afternoon/evening, I went back to the Fivebough Swamp and saw the Swamp Harrier again and then camped overnight nearby.
