As we were in Mount Barker today, we decided to have pop into Laratinga Wetlands for a short walk. The water was high here too, but there were still plenty of birds around.
Purple Swamphens were everywhere, and the sun caught this Dusky Moorhen turning it purple too,......something I haven't seen before.
There were a few Australian Shovelers here and many White-faced Herons.
I was hoping to luck into a Spotless Crake that has been seen here, but it wasn't to be. Only the spotted version was playing ball today.
On the way back I noticed a couple of Common Bronzewings scratching in the leaf litter, a lone Black-fronted Plover, and a co-operative Little Grassbird.
Great shots.
