Hardy's Scrub, Onkaparinga River National Park (Fleurieu Birding)

Today I took advantage of a morning off and headed to Hardy's Scrub in the Onkaparinga River National Park. I had been to this part of the National Park a couple of times before - the last time was two years ago - and I wanted to revisit it. I drove out through Clarendon, and parked at Gate 19 on Chapel Hill Road. I arrived at 8:30am and stayed for nearly 2 hours. I got a few nice little bush bird species, most of which were too quick or too obscured by vegetation for a photo, but here are a few I did managed to photograph.

While I was away in the South East I decided that I would like to dedicate more time to exploring and birding on the Fleurieu Peninsula, and this morning's outing was my first effort towards this. I don't have any specific goals, just to have a good time and hopefully see some great birds and get some photos :-)
