WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Kiltonga Wildlife Reserve (Part 2)

Following on from yesterday’s post, we will continue our walk round Kiltonga Wildlife Reserve and today I will show you some more birds. Below are Lesser Black backed Gulls and then a black headed Gull standing on a nesting site.  




Robin above and Moorhen below.



Heron


This Magpie seems to have something wrong with its wing 
however it was still able to fly.



Blackbird


Black headed Gulls



I was amazed that in June of this year, these male Mallards above were going into their eclipse plumage. This is a Jackdaw below. 


 I have a short video of a pair of Mute Swans with their cygnets.  CLICK HERE if the video does not appear below.
I hope you enjoyed our walk today and the birds we saw.

I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.


Many thanks for visiting and also to all those who leave comments.

    Your magpies are so very different to ours. I am glad that one could fly.
    I do love wandering with you. Thank you.

    Nice post - a number of these birds will be turing up on WBW soon - but they first species is not a classic cliff dweller!

    Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne

    Great images Margaret. First the winch on Tory Island and now you've given me another item to wonder about. What's the Blue thing the black headed gull is sitting on?
