We were so lucky to have beautiful weather on Wednesday for our bird walk at Scott Conservation Park with the Friends of Cox Scrub. It was glorious.
The group of 17 bird watchers spotted 38 species of birds on the 2.5 hour walk with John Gitsham and Wendy Phillips helping with identification.
The birds included:
