Regular readers will know that I’ve been trying to get closer shots of the white-faced heron at Lysterfield Lake Park. While my sister-in-law and her husband were visiting recently, I took her down to the park to see first hand the beautiful place I love to roam regularly. Imagine my surprise to see the heron…

Flock of Pelicans
While I was at Lysterfield Lake Park I saw a flock of pelicans fly from behind a tree and high up into the air.
White faced Heron
I’m determined to get closer to this bird but it will take some time. I missed an opportunity on Saturday when I came across it suddenly – I hadn’t expect it, and neither had the bird. He took off before I could get some good close ups, and thought I’d missed my chance altogether. But…
Big Eastern Greys
There were quite a few fairly big roos out when I was walking at the park too. These I made sure I kept my distance from. They would definitely tower over me when standing up right and they can do serious damage to you too. So I remained alert the whole time I was walking…
Birds at Lysterfield
Yesterday you saw the Christmas beetle and today I want to share with you a small selection of birds I’ve seen on my walks at Lysterfield Lake Park. The first is an Eastern Rosella, then an Eastern Yellow Robin and finally a Superb Fairy Wren, male, known for their brilliant blue colouring. My daughter and…
A Wallaby and Joey II

3 Mountain Bikers
3 riders on one of the many tracks at Lysterfield Lake Park. Some tracks are single tracks and some are much wider like this one which is actually more a road in the park.

Revisting Lysterfield Lake Park
Yesterday I went back to Lysterfield Lake Park for a wander around as my husband went on his regular weekly mountain bike ride. I thought at first I would have to settle for landscape shots (not that that’s a bad thing) but then I chanced upon two small families of kangaroos. So, for the next…
Sun on the water
I loved the sunlight on the water and this photo probably doesn’t do it enough justice but thought I’d share it anyway. Lysterfield Lake Park is truly a beautiful place to visit and a very popular family picnic area, as well as popular with the mountain bikers who congregate there every weekend. No wonder they…
More Kangaroos
There were a lot of roos grazing on this particular day in the park. Here’s a couple more.
