Nearly 40 people found Parklakes, Bli Bli for an early morning wander around the suburban wetlands. Forty folk necessitated three groups and, all told, we recorded nearly 70 bird species.
This once brilliant wetland has never reclaimed its former glory sadly as Greg Roberts described in 2016
Still it is still home to a reasonable variety of species and a particularly good site for beginning birders with an easy flat surfaced walkway.
One of the birding highlights was a juvenile Koel being fed by duped Noisy Friarbird parents.

And there some species associated with the lakes themselves...
A wonderful start to a very long day for Jenny and I. We rebirded this place until 4:30pm and still didn't manage to get pics of them all. Pleased to say we did get some LIFERS and spent ages with the Flycatcher which we thought was another Willie Wagtail at the bin. Thankyou so much to everyone for a very friendly start to our day.
