It’s been most of the year since I’ve been to Lysterfield. I’ve been concentrating on Birdsland Reserve, which is closer to home, but as I was planning to host a photowalk at Lysterfield, thought it best that I go back to have a look around, in case there were any changes I needed to be…

Kangaroos at Lysterfield Lake Park
I went for a walk on Saturday with my husband around the lake at the park. It’s a total of 5.5km and was a lovely surprise as I wasn’t sure if he’d be up to it. It was a cold but sunny and clear winter’s day – just great for walking in the sunlight. Saw…
Birds of Lysterfield Park
With occasional sunny days I’ve been venturing back to my favourite park again. Below is an Eastern Rosella climbing up the side of a tree and also a Butcher Bird who was annoying a Crimson Rosella in a low bough. It would fly up and then back down again, watching the bird above, and then…
Little lost duckling

More cormorants
We pick up from yesterday’s post when the cormorant spied me and his friends began to leave the pier, one by one.
Magpie-lark
This Magpie-lark was very chatty as it came towards me at Lysterfield Park. Think it might have thought I was good for some food but I wasn’t carrying any.
Walking a path
This is the path I was walking when I came across the family of kangaroos. I just love the Australian countryside – the gum trees have such character and all quite different. P.S. Like these photos?
