This is a view towards the Island where the birds are completely safe from all predators, such as foxes and feral cats. It's generally where they nest.
I almost caught these 2 ducks coming in to land on the lake, and this was the wake they created on landing.
There are many different types of ducks at the lake and they all seem to get on quite well.
The initial view of the koala sleeping in the fork of the gum tree, shot with the 24-105mm lens and cropped. I then switched to the 300mm lens for the much better closeup photo I blipped yesterday.
Some of the wattle blossom growing along the path around the lake. 100mm lens for this shot that was chosen to show a bunch of blossoms rather than a closeup of just one.
One of the most common birds seen in the park at the lake is the Dusky Moorhen. It is very black with a red beak and frontal shield with matching red feet. Not shy and will come up close.
Finally time to leave for the day and this was the attractive board walk pathway out of the park back to the parking area. We could easily walk to the park from home, being just under one kilometre. With cameras and heavy lenses we took the easy option this time to drive there. When we have a proper camera backpack to hold the gear, we will walk there in future!
