Yesterday, Fay and I drove down to Melbourne to visit our son and his wife and spend the afternoon walking around the Karkarook Wetland Reserve.
This reserve is fairly new and is a wetland developed in what used to be a gravel quarry. Although the plantings are still fairly young, the wetlands have developed really well with a wealth of birds to be seen.
I was able to get photographs of a number of very special birds, including 2 that I had never photograhed before.
The first bird we found was a Black Swan (Cygnus atrata) sitting on her nest
