I
wandered along near the lakes and ponds on my way to the cafe -
taking photos of whichever birds looked interesting as I wandered
coffeewards. A few posed for me, while others just got on with
enjoying their own lives without bothering about who was watching
them. This shabby tailed fellow was watching me, though.
Next
up, a good picture of an Australian woodduck. When we lived in
Woolooware, before Wollongong, we lived near the geese and duck
colony at the inlet behind the Caringbah camellia gardens. There
were quite a few of these birds there - as well as larger geese for
my son and I to feed.
Eiders
on the lake mean it is almost coffeetime! Their lake is situated in
front of the cafe and one can often see a few glide about as one sips
ones refreshments. They make an interesting noise - as regular
readers may recall from a video I posted in one of my blogs last
year.
That's a great picture of the Australian Woodduck. But I like that shabby-tailed fellow, too. :)
