Bird hides

["Ross Macfarlane" <>]

Past tense I'm afraid. The bird hide at Braeside Park SE of Melbourne was an 
excellent hide from which to watch birds. It's been closed down by Melbourne 
Water about 2 years ago for safety reasons, and there is a continuing 
wrangle over if and when it will be rebuilt.
A limited service is available once a month from the display centre, but it 
is much further from the best viewing spots than the bird hide.

The bird hide at Braeside Park SE of Melbourne is an excellent hide from
which to watch birds but frustrating for photographers. The windows are
tinted and sloped but none open! The other day there was a Lewin's Rail
immediately adjacent!
