I guess you could say it was a
"B" of a day. It was drizzling, the wind was blowing and it was
cold. We had a visitor from Norway with us.
Just as we were told we
saw the Bitten, on the coast road not far from the Borrow Pits.
The Black Swan
were congregating near the Outfall. Then there was the
White-Bellied Sea-eagle just standing on the Little River
Ford. In Walsh's Lagoon there were 7
Bar-tailed Godwits keeping the Black-winged
Stilts company.
Two Cape
Barren Geese were on the small island in Lake Borrie, I wonder
if they are nesting there again this year?
Out from the Hide there were
many shorebirds feeding, Curlew Sandpipers and lots of Red-necked Stints.
Was good to shelter there and enjoy a cup of coffee. There were a few
White-Browed Scrubwren flitting about outside the hide.
The Brolga was
in Ryan's Lagoon and again the Black kite was flying near to
the Plantation on South Road.
There was a Peregrine in
the dead trees at Ryan's Lagoon.
All in all it turned out to be
a beauty day!
