| Sacred Kingfisher |
A great morning's birding was had at our monthly walk at Cooran. Thanks to the 20 people who joined us for a meander along the creek side vegetation and congratulations on a great little outing.
Some 80 species were recorded by sight and sound - an outstanding result.
Cuckoos were well represented with Koel plus Little and Shining Bronze, Brush and Fan tailed.
