Still in Ingham

June 19, 2024

We're still in Ingham, but in a motel room in the town and not at the campground south of here.

The reason is that once we arrived at the wetland we realised that it deserved more time. So after spending a few hours there this morning we eventually found a motel that didn't require engaging a loan shark first. Then we headed back to the wetland for some more birding and will give it another go tomorrow morning as well.

The wetland covers ninety hectares and has many kilometers of walking paths plus a number of birding hides.

Interestingly, most of the other visitors we encountered at the wetland this morning were looking for crocodiles.

Lots of Forest Kingfishers (Todiramphus macleayii).

The rufiventris subspecies of Varied Triller (Lalage leucomela).

Brown Honeyeater (Lichmera indistincta).

This pair of Wandering Whistling-Ducks (Dendrocygna arcuata) had four ducklings.

Today's ride: 9 km (6 miles)
Total: 4,291 km (2,665 miles)
