Hah! You wouldn't be envious in summer time, Burn. Winter and spring see it at its best most years, but this year the water levels are very low.

Here are another couple of shots from two days ago.

The dead tree that a pair of Pink-eared Ducks have nested in for several years is being commandeered by Little Corellas. I t]don't know if their interest is fleeting. I hope so. It would be a real shame if the Ducks were displaced. I don't know if you're going to be able to make out the rusty brown colour on the dead tree, but that's where the Corellas have been chewing. They are fun loving, but boy, are they destructive.
