Day twenty

Another exploration of Sydney today, this time to Sydney Park. Helen, Steve,Immie and Jack did a Park Run there be we have never visited. 
I can now tell you that it was created on an old Brick Works and the now only the chimneys remain. A mixed parkland of grass, trees and lakes has been created. It looks from the photo as if the chimneys were still smoking away but they aren’t. 



We saw some good birds including an egret, a spoonbill and three black-winged stilts.



Spoonbill, egret and ibis!



Three stilts, and ibis and a purple swamp hen in the background. 




Then back home on the train in time for a walk round the Cemetery where we saw a black butcher bird.
