Back at Lysterfield again. This time afternoon and the water was amazingly still and glassy looking. It wasn’t until I was looking through my viewfinder though that I noticed the circle of clouds from the sky and water reflection. They lined up with the circular grid inside my camera. Amazing. Can you see the circle?
Lilydale Lake birdlife
At the lake in Lilydale there’s a jetty and viewing pad for the birdlife and boats on the lake. The swallows have taken up residence there and were also enjoying the early morning sun while I visited.
Masked Lapwing Plover in flight
While at Lilydale Lake I disturbed a Plover and it took off. Fortunately I was already focused on the bird so caught it in flight. Can you see its spurs on the top edge of its wings?
Lilydale Lake
Can you see a theme? Yes, I enjoy going to parks and lakes and there are a few in the region in which I live. I was actually chasing a radio station roadshow vehicle to enter a competition and once I caught up with them I thought about where I could visit before returning home….
Lysterfield Lake – beautiful morning
I love being there in the morning, the afternoon, anytime really. When you get views like this one can you blame me? And this is a cormorant taking off as it detects me on one of the jetties.
