Walkabout with a camera

This morning we took a camera when we went for our walk along the path that leads to a little jetty and bird hide on the opposite side of Bibra Lake. This is one of our favourite walks.

There was a lineup of young cormorants along the railing. They let us get quite close, then peeled off one by one. Kevin thought of fighter planes, I thought of a chorus line.

Something was a big attraction in the water for a range of birds, all concentrated in a small area of water and busily eating.

On the way back we noticed this hole. It seems much too big to be a rabbit's, but a little too small to house a wombat. Obviously we are very ignorant of what native animals live in this area. We often see scratchings in the ground and droppings that resemble those of sheep, though much smaller.
