Bird ID

Hi Guys,

Lorraine &I spent last week down at Goolwa here in SA...stayed on an old paddle wheeler right in a bird sanctuary..brilliant.

I managed to ID all the birds I shot bit could not find an ID for this little guy.

Can anyone help...?

Cheers,

Ron.

Golden-headed Cisticola, Ron. 

I know the spot you've mentioned in your post. It's interesting that the authorities, presumably the Alexandrina Council are gradually removing lots of habitat from that general area to allow easier access for tourists & day trippers to the water. It would be wonderful if Council reversed that process.

Thanks Woko, at the moment, they have only cleared a small section, nearly around to the barrage, for school kids to kayak and other activities...most of the water in the area consists of backwaters and is quite shallow..only a few inches in lots of areas.Not sure if it will ever cater to boats...
