[mjh73]

Right , home now so after a full on day here are the final contributions from me:

Black Kite
Laughing Kookaburra
Brown Goshawk
White-faced Heron
Yellow-billed Spoonbill
Glossy Ibis (clean sweep of the 3 ibis species in Australia - glossy being the trickiest)
Hardhead
Pink-eared Duck
Grey Teal
Chestnut Teal
Australasian Shoveler
Whiskered Tern
Pied Stilt
Brown Thornbill
Australasian Reed Warbler
Great-crested Grebe
Hoary-headed Grebe

Been a fun challenge, made harder by 30C heat so birds not playing for much of the day (and I was doing Parkrun at 8am when I probably should have been birding before it warmed up!)

Good luck everyone else!

 

[Swindon Addick]

Called in at Berry Head. Chiffchaff in the bushes at the top of the cliff, and Harbour Porpoise in the sea below. I know that last one doesn't count for the total, but when you live about as far from the sea as you can get in the UK any cetacean is a highlight.

 

[Owene]

Common Sandpiper
Redshank
Black Redstart
meadow pipit
