After last night's storm, today dawned calm and sunny. But this was only to be a lull, as another front is forecast for tonight.
I decided to make the most of it and head to two local wetlands. The water was very high at Greenfields Wetlands so there were not many birds. A Little Grassbird was very confiding though, alternating between feeding and singing in a bush right by the road.
This Purple Swamphen had a small family of chicks with it, but they all disappeared as soon as I touched the camera!
At Whites Road, the water was a little lower. The Black Swans were feeding in one corner, with a single Australian Ibis and 100's of Black-tailed Nativehens in another.
On the way home I saw this White-faced Heron busily feeding in an old overgrown paddock. He slowly stalked back and forth until he found lunch!
