Byron Bay Wetlands in Byron Bay, Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, is an important haven for many birds species, including the migratory Latham’s Snipe. As the summer moves on the snipe have moved to the ditches and waterways through the wetland. While the wetlands seem quiet, there are still many birds making their way in the malaleuca woodlands and reedbeds.
A pretty picture in the greenery, the colourful White-cheeked Honeyeater.
This Latham’s Snipe was resting close to one of the drains that move water through the wetlands.
This male Cicadabird chose the highest branch of the highest tree to broadcast his cicada like song.
There were two Nankeen NIght Herons in the wetlands yesterdy, in the same area that a flock of six had been previously seen.
Another pretty setting for this Red-browed Finch.
An unusual display by a Bar-shouldered Dove, tail splayed to show its full colours.
Little Wattlebirds have moved into the woodlands during January, presumably in response to fruition of a new food source.
