And of course, as the sun rose, and the mist disappeared, the bird life became active and a chorus of different bird songs rang out through the whole area. It was lovely to listen to. This noisy miner was busy exploring the tree for food but took off after it had heard my camera click…

A visit to Lysterfield Lake
While at the lake on the weekend I spied a single grey heron further up the beach, where the area is still flooded. Not many people walk up there as you can’t get through and have to turn back. I had my rubber boots on so ventured further than I usually do, knowing I could…
