Birding places near me

[wigz]

After seeing photos of Isac's lake, I thought I'd show a couple of the places I go to. These are just from a quick scan through old shots. These sites are all within a twenty minute drive of home.

1. Tygum Park has a roughly round lake with many people walking and exercising so the birds are somewhat accustomed to people. I don't have any shots showing the whole area.



2. Eagleby Wetlands has several lakes and large areas of grass and trees. These are from the main (short) boardwalk a few years ago. Because it was dry for quite a while, the water in this lake is rather choked with plants at the moment, so not nearly as attractive.



Yes, that's a photographer in this one.



3. Underwood Park. I don't have a wider shot.


4. Riverdale Park. I don't go here often as it is quite small with limited birds, apart from the more common ducks.

Some nice lakes in your area Alan, Underwood Park looks particularly nice.

Yes John, it's a very nice place, but they are all good in different ways.

There is something about water that makes you feel good. They look like pleasant places for a walk and take an occasional winner.

Definitely pleasant walks Hans, and always hoping for a winner.

Thanks for sharing Alan. They all look like great lakes to visit with the camera. They look a lot bigger than my 2 small lakes.
