Wedge-tailed eagle, Sugarloaf Reservoir Park (31 July 2013) |
Here is a Park Guide. I have just visited for a second time. On both occasions the visit was in winter and I enjoyed walking the first 1km or so of the Chris Phillips Walk (leaving from the Saddle Dam Picnic area).

White-winged chough have a great habit of nonchalantly wandering away from the observer - slow enough to get you interested but rarely presenting a favourable perspective! |

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great little spot! I too have been seeking out 'dry country' spots for birds around Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteI've never spent time with Choughs but they intrigue me for some reason. I wouldn't have noticed that your shot was out of focus either unless you pointed it out :)
Another great spot, Pete! I just might have to take a little break from landscapes to do some bird photography while in Melb in Dec/Jan.
