Birding Sydney with jet lag.

Day one of our holiday to Australia and we're in Sydney with minor jet lag. Today we did a quick reccy of the place and walked through the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Opera House and then onto Sydney Harbour Bridge.  Finally we caught the ferry to Manly and had a walk around the headland.

Lots of new  birds for me today and I managed to put a name to most in the field and others I photographed and id'd later. Here's a small selection.


Pied Cormorant.


Crested tern


New Holland Honeyeater


Masked plover


Sulphur - crested cockatoo.


Little pied cormorant


Eastern water dragon


Black rock skink.
