Wednesday’s weather was variable enabling me to carry out a
survey on the Lagoon. The cloud moved in later on in the morning and a storm
looked imminent as the cloud rolled in.
Alot of birds were using the Lagoon this morning allowing
three lists to be completed. New species are becoming harder to find around the
lake but the pair of Brazilian Teal put in another appearance. They seem to be
using the N end of the lake visiting the S end when there are no tourists
around.

Two notable species seen in the trees within the environs of
the lake were female Blue Dacnis and an Elaenia which I have been unable to
identify. Too many key features are concealed in the photos.

The storm got into full swing overnight and it is still
raining now. I watched the Lagoon for a couple of hours this morning and saw a
Barn Swallow flying low above the reeds. The rain has stopped but for how long.
Keeping one eye on the lake is a must!
As I am posting this log a Great White Egret flew along the
far bank of the lake. Lagoon watch for me this afternoon!
