Lake Monger Magic

After work ( Night shift ) on Thursday morning  I stopped by Lake Monger for a quick visit….there was cacophonous noise coming from the trees..Corella’s everywhere, I managed to shoot a few photos before exiting ….after night shift, the noise of Sqwarking cockatoos are the last thing one wants to hear….
