Discovered top motel @ B Bay last w’end: Lincoln Downs, part of which abuts the right-hand verge of Princes Highway (if travelling
nth) just after the roundabout that enters the town.
Behind it but in the grounds are lovely green tree-shaded (unpeopled) lawns sloping down to a small lake (c.f. Jerra.) w many fine
water-birds: lotsa roy spoonbills, gt egrets, pair little bitterns, 6 darters drying out on a log, a koel calling: whoa, an azure kingfisher, dollarbirds hawking plus all the usual suspects…. All of these emerging c. 8-8.30 in the morn when one can walk out
on a wooden boardwalk to a small rotunda/folly & sit @ ease observing.
Recommend.
