As I walked back along Logan’s Track at Lysterfield I could see something white hanging in a tree. I moved off the main track and walked through the growth to get closer to the fence line where the tree was. It was a birds nest that had some extra items added to its making. It…

Royal Spoonbill
When I was visiting Lysterfield Lake just over a week ago, to view the sunset there, I got a surprise in seeing a Royal Spoonbill there on the shore. I had thought I’d seen one in the distance on the other side of the lake a couple of weeks before, but I couldn’t be sure….
White-faced heron at the lake
Here the heron is flying over the reeds at one part of the lake and heading to an area where it will seek food. Coming for a landing. Just look at those wings.
White-faced Heron
The white-faced heron is one of my favourite birds to follow around at the lake. I first saw it near the beach and once it became aware of me, it kept ahead so that it could see me but wasn’t too close. All fluffed up and keeping a fence between me and it.
Misty morning at Lysterfield Park
I’m trying to get back into the routine of walking regularly throughout the week. When my husband and I returned home from our holiday in January we both seemed to hit the ground running and have barely stopped. Unfortunately, that means those things we really should be doing, like regular exercise, getting fresh air, etc,…
Have you missed me?
Since returning from my holiday in January this year, life has been full on and very, very busy. I’ve had little time to blog although I have been taking photos still, but not every day. Must be the first year in the past 4 years when I haven’t been outside every day taking photos. However,…
Wattle trees in blossom
I went back to my favourite park recently. We’ve had lots of rain this winter. The mountain bike tracks have been closed for at least a couple of months which is a measure of how wet it’s been. I go for walks on the lower tracks but haven’t ventured up the hills. Going up means…
Bird photowalk at Lysterfield
I’ve been chatting with some at the Birds in Backyards forum and we decided to start doing photowalks together. As I run a business and need to be in the office during business hours only one person could meet up with me intially and we started lasted Monday. Unfortunately for us, there was a film…
Two views of the jetty
Still at Lysterfield Park on that lovely day.
Beautiful morning at Lysterfield
Met with a group of photographers this morning at Lysterfield Lake Park for a sunrise photowalk and it was worth it. There was a small mist over the lake and the waters were calm. Absolutely gorgeous. I was there for nearly two hours but wished I could have stayed longer – I had another appointment…
Golden morning sunrise
Now I’m back on my two feet, I’ve begun visiting one of my favourite parks again – Lysterfield Lake Park. I’ve been walking across the dam wall and partly along the beach too. I’ll stay off the tracks for a little while longer – at least the ones where I need to climb hills and…
Sunset at Lysterfield
I talked my husband into taking me to Lysterfield Park on Friday evening. I’d been walking a total of two days, with the aid of a crutch, and I was itching to get outside again. He was a bit reluctant but took me anyway, and watched over me very carefully as I made my way…
