As I was riding home this morning, after my coffee by the river, I stopped at the lagoon and was thrilled to hear the familiar sound of Fairy Wrens ... which I have never heard at the lagoon before! Usually, I have to ride to the other side of town and down a dirt track to find Fairy Wrens.
So I crept around with my camera trying to spot them. Twice, I spotted a female, but she hid behind the dried twigs of a dead bush, so I couldn't get a clear shot.
Now that I know they are there, I am going to spend a bit of time at the lagoon for the next few mornings to see what I can come up with.
In the 15-20 minutes that I was there, I saw Fairy Wrens, Willy Wagtail, Sparrows, Water Fowl, Shags, Noisy Friar, Peaceful Dove, Top Notch Pigeon, Two varieties of duck, Grey Egret, White Egret, Ibis, Peewee, Kookaburra, Butcher Bird, bees, 3 varieties of dragonfly and wasps.
The lagoon is full of flowering lilies too.
I quite like this one, but wish I had better focus on the wasp.
I just found this one on Facebook and I like it.
Today I am grateful to be living across the road from a very healthy lagoon and I look forward to adding to the list of living creatures that I discover during Autumn and into Winter. Just imagine what Spring will bring!!
Nite all.
