One spot, many birds - Vale Mrs Faye
13th November 2026
Cotton Pygmy Goose, November 2025.
I have been visiting the same water body near Herberton for nearly 12 months now. There are so many different species of bird there that I thought I would post a photo of each taken at the spot.
I always intended to share this page when it was done with a dear friend and bird lover, Mrs Faye. Despite seeing her a fair bit recently the time was never right to share this page with her. Sadly Mrs Faye passed away yesterday so I think the time is right to post it.
Where I have a webpage with more information about that bird I will provide a link to it. Lets start with the Cotton Pygmy Goose above, which I did indeed share with Mrs Faye when I first spotted them about a year ago.
As I get photos of more species, 28 at the time of posting, I will add them to this page.
