On Saturday I had a chance to drop into
the Moonstone Walk wetland, Bundoora (in the estate behind the old
Larundel psychiatric hospital) in the hope of seeing the famed Little Bittern -
but to no avail. However - it is a great little treasure of habitat.
Over the road from the La Trobe Uni wildlife reserve and housing estate or golf
club on the other three sides, the two ponds/dams are teeming with a good range
of wildlife, especially birds. I found 15 species there in about half an
hour. The best sighting was a single Blue-billed Duck and
a few Dusky Moorhen.
