At Lysterfield Lake Park
Jul 4, 2010 Australian wildlife, Lysterfield Lake Park
I dropped into Lysterfield Lake Park one day during the week as I had to pass by doing a pick up. So I thought why not do my daily walk there, I’m sure to see something interesting! I nearly despaired of not seeing a bird or a wallaby or kanagaroo after a half hour of walking – I could hear the birds but none near enough to focus on. So I headed down to the lake beach and there spied a young kangaroo on its own. I loved the pose with its head up and ears in different directions but after it decided I was getting too close it took off. Here are a couple of shots from that day.

Daily Walk
Jun 15, 2010 Australian wildlife, Lysterfield Lake Park
One day I went for a walk at Lysterfield Lake Park which is not far from where we live. I ventured down to the beach by the lake and as I walked near the bushes I heard a rustling and 3 kangaroos hopped out and bounded down along the beach. Here are some shots from that day.

What has caught their attention?
Mar 26, 2010 Australian wildlife, Birds
A discussion on the APF forum I belong to was about what was holding the attention of these kookaburras? Usually when there are a number together they are looking in different directions for food but not all in the same direction and not usually up either.
There was the most gorgeous sunrise yesterday and I spied these three all looking towards the sun as it rose. You can see the glint on the trees in the background. But would birds watch a sunrise? What do you suppose they were all watching?

Cockatoo in tree

Was out for a walk with my daughter the other evening and spied this Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo in a tree, coo-ing and making loud noises.
Two Firetails together

Thought this was cute – two little red-browed firetails sitting on the wire fence together, just surveying their surroundings.
