Little lost duckling

Walking at the park the other day with a girlfriend we saw a group of three park rangers together near the entry gate.  We soon discovered that one was carrying a tiny little duckling who had become separated from its family and they were off in search of a duck family for it.  So cute.

The Swamp Wallaby

Been wanting to get a decent photo of these little guys for sometime.  They are usually only seen on their own and they’re very shy and usually take off as soon as they see a human. However this guy remained inquisitive enough to allow me to get a couple of shots of him.

More kangaroos

I love wandering around Lysterfield Lake Park early in the day.  It’s fresh, there is still dampness in the air and on the ground, everything is looking so green at the moment and the animals haven’t disappeared into the bush as yet.

More cormorants

We pick up from yesterday’s post when the cormorant spied me and his friends began to leave the pier, one by one.

Magpie-lark

This Magpie-lark was very chatty as it came towards me at Lysterfield Park. Think it might have thought I was good for some food but I wasn’t carrying any.

Walking a path

This is the path I was walking when I came across the family of kangaroos. I just love the Australian countryside – the gum trees have such character and all quite different.
