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….
Pink eared duck
Drying out the feathers
A Swamphen preening is amazing coloured coat
Close up of one of the noisy ones… A short beaked Corella
Taking a drink from a depth pole…13 metres , it will be interesting how much water is lost during this season….
Taking a quick drink
…..And again
I love the way they keep out of the water…Waterbirds , they are not…
one of the many feathers….
Beautiful colours
Such a pretty little duck
I love this photo
With my zoom lens, anything is possible
This Swamphen did not like me coming closer
The very shy Pink eared ducks
I love the contrasting eye colours
Full wing span
So fluffy
Beautiful close up of a rather friendly Darter
