Altona Beach, Melbourne

["Shirley Cameron" <>]

Winter in Melbourne is a magic time.  When the tide is out at Altona, a
western suburb, there are plenty of birds on the shore.  As I drove along
the foreshore today I saw Pied Cormorants, Pied Oyster Catchers, many Royal
Spoonbills, Silver gulls, Pacific Gulls.  There were Chestnut Teal out
swimming, not far away were many Black-winged Stilts.  Masked Lapwing were
on the grass verges. White-faced herons were there too. Quite worth the
detour.
