Darwin Birds
Today I discovered that bird watching with decent binoculars is really awesome! All my watching today was down at the mangroves at Nightcliff and at Rapid Creek just near our house, but I managed to see heaps of birds in incredible detail. This is my list for the day ( not including really obvious ones we see without trying like lapwings and doves etc) (lots of identification was due to mum who knows all these birds in an instant).
Red headed honeyeater Myzomela erythrocephala
White-Gaped Honeyeater Lichenostomus unicolor
Red-Necked Stint Calidris ruficollis
Mistletoebird Dicaeum hirundinaceum
Dollarbird Eurystomus orientalis
Lemon-Bellied Flycatcher Microeca flavigaster
Black Butcherbird Cracticus quoyi
Double barred finch Taeniopygia bichenovii
Long tailed finch Poephila personata
