I went for a walk yesterday that proved to me you don't have to go far to see 
interesting birds.  My main purpose was to try to get photos of a pair of Wood 
Ducks with chicks on the pond near Learmonth Drive.

I didn't manage to getany decent photos because it was simply too dark.  
However, I was surprised by the number of other birds I didn't expect to see 
there.  I saw the Wood Ducks, but also about 15 others of the same species, 
some Black Fronted Dotterel, a White Necked Heron, Pacific Black Ducks as well 
as Galahs, White Cockatoos, Red Rumped Parrots, Magpies and Red Wattlebirds.

The Heron in particular was an unexpected bonus.
