BIRDING BRIMBANK PARK

The day before yesterday, my mother and I went to Brimbank Park in Keilor to do some birding.

First we headed to the first ford, only to find it flooded (as usual). We walked to the second ford, seeing lots of fairy-wrens, only to find that it too was flooded (as usual), so we headed to the path and decided to continue following the Maribrynong River. We saw four Australian magpies and two wood ducks while walking to the path. Along the path, I managed to spot three red-browed finches on a tree stump, some more finches on the ground, a sulphur-crested cockatoo nesting and a grey fantail.

This short outing was well worth it for these images and the birds I saw.
