On 18 September 2024, a large flock of Starling was perched on a tree in the Skink Habitat of Royal Trin Warren Tam-boore. I managed to isolate 2 birds and took this photograph while they were looking in the same direction. It appears that they are still in there winter (non-breeding) plumage. I suspect they will soon change their coat.

Normally, we will see Australian White Ibises flying over Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore. On occasion, they do land on the oval next to Trin. This picture was taken on 18 September 2024. It was an overcast day which makes it ideal to photograph the White Ibis. White Ibises are high contrast subjects which takes it very difficult to photograph in bright sunlight.

As the Tasmanian Fantails leave for Tasmania, the Grey Fantails that replaces them are from the main land. These Fantails can be seen Trin Warren Tam-boore in greater numbers now. These photographs of a Grey Fantail was taken on 18 September 2024 at the Western Remant.

As we approach the breeding season, the Superb Fairy at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boorie are in full breeding plumage. They are also seemed to show themselves more these days.
These photographs of a calling Fairywren was taken on 18 September 2024. They are one of my favourite photograph subjects. These are probably some of the best photographs I have of this species. I like the them because it depicts the bird in its environment with blurry front and background giving the photographs a dreaming look. I like to take more of this type of photographs.

I have taken many photographs of the Australian Ringneck (Mallee subspecies) during this trip. However, many did not turn out well. This photograph was taken on the last day of the trip (7 September 2024) during sunset at Red Cliffs Lookout.
Red Cliffs Lookout is an excellent location for bird photography in the evening. There is a resident pair of Singing Honeyeaters. One can also expect to see Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters, White-browed Babblers, Red-rumped Parrots and Greater Bluebonnet.
If I had a few more days in this location, I reckon I can get decent photographs of these birds. It will have to be another trip.
