White faced Heron surveys lake

Got this shot one day as I walked along the dam wall at Lysterfield Lake. The Heron was busy surveying the water but was very conscious of my presence too.

Now, this is a turnaround. Kangaroos watching a cyclist pass them by. I thought it quite funny as I looked down on them from the top of the dam wall at Lysterfield Lake Park. The kangaroos are Eastern Greys and there are many at the park. Best time to see them out in the open is early morning or towards sunset.

Cloudy day at the lake

You would have seen the lovely sunset shots I got the other night at Lysterfield Lake Park. On the day these two photos were taken the weather was very different and you can see the clouds rolling in over the hills in the distance. The atmosphere at the park is quite different when it’s overcast. Still a beautiful place to visit though.

Walking on water

This shot amuses me.  A small group of ducks took off across the water as I came near to them on the beach. I caught this one as it ran across the top of the water to what it considered to be a safer place to be.

I took a walk along Mahogany Track to see if I could see any different birdlife. But I was soon interrupted by this team of MTB riders.  My husband is the second from the front and thought I should have taken a photo of them as they were coming towards me. So I thought I’d take one as they were leaving me.
