It is really beautiful and always something to find in the trees, in the grass, in the water
Have edited the count. Should be correct again. But I will have to list the birds at some point to make sure
I never counted one double.

Love the kite pic Mel.
The masked lapwing is a great looking bird.
Always great to see terns.

The closest I ever got to an egret anywhere. This one standing right underneath the boardwalk trying
to catch some brekkie and wasn't bothered at all with people passing it.
Forest Kingfisher

And we got some fishies as well.
The first one is a family of Barramundi. A very tasty fish as well.
The other two I have no idea what they are.
