Day one of our holiday to Australia and we're in Sydney with minor jet lag. Today we did a quick reccy of the place and walked through the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Opera House and then onto Sydney Harbour Bridge. Finally we caught the ferry to Manly and had a walk around the headland.
Lots of new birds for me today and I managed to put a name to most in the field and others I photographed and id'd later. Here's a small selection.
Pied Cormorant.
Crested tern
New Holland Honeyeater
Masked plover
Sulphur - crested cockatoo.
Little pied cormorant
Eastern water dragon
Black rock skink.
