After all of our storms and rain, I went down to have a look at Eagleby Wetlands during a break in the weather yesterday. There is plenty of water there but you can't see most of it because of the 2m high herbiage that has grown up.
I was expecting lots of mosquitoes so applied some repellent before I left but I mustn't have used enough because plenty of them found the bits I'd missed.
There wasn't much bird life around but I took a few very run-of-the-mill shots. It also started to rain again but didn't come to much but the light was poor.
1. Female Fairy-wren (Red-backed I think). A bit too far away for a decent shot.
2. The male didn't cooperate and wouldn't show his face
3. Royal Spoonbill
4. Another shot
5. Dusky Moorhen
