Boronia Park Oval with bushland in the background.
Sacred Kingfisher with crab.
Aust. White Ibis feeding in a small mangrove lined creek.
Building on the east side of the river.
Above are a few shots from an evening walk along the Lane Cove River. A section of the Great North Walk (a walking trail running from Sydney to Newcastle) follows the western bank and I did the section between Boronia Park and Buffalo Creek then home through the Field of Mars Reserve.
Sacred Kingfisher was nice to see. Possibly breeding in a large termite mound near to where I took the above shot. There were also plenty of Aust. White Ibis feeding in the mangroves. I think they must roost around Buffalo Creek.
A calling Tawny Frogmouth at the field study centre in the Field of Mars had me jumping for a moment when I instinctively thought 'Painted Button-Quail!'
