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.

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.

Today is Australia Day, a public holiday here in Australia with barbeques, Australia Day Honours Ceremonies the country wide and people just enjoying the Australian Summer.

This photo was taken at Lysterfield Lake Park and is a Grey Kangaroo.

Now at a slightly safer distance the mother stops to check my progress while her joey hops into the pouch for safety. Another wallaby is feeding nearby.  It was early morning and you can see the sunlight outlining them.

As they noticed I was getting closer (to try and get clearer shots) mother decided to turn away and move and joey followed.

Walking through Lysterfield Lake Park always produces some great photo opportunities. I was not to be disappointed when I was there recently and came across a small group of wallabies and one had a joey with it.

We were attending a birthday party at Lysterfield Park and this crow was waiting for any tidbits he could get.

This little fella flew up to me, and then settled on the ground nearby – almost as though he was trying to work out what I was doing. Then he took off again after I took his photo.
