I took a short visit to Kogolup
Lake this afternoon. The sun was up and I didn’t really expect to see much but
there was plenty of activity on the lake. A flock of Australian Ibis were
feeding in front of the reed-bed on the far side. I wonder if they were the
same birds I had seen in the paddock just off the main road on previous days!
Australian Shelduck were also present on the lake.
I missed the photo opportunity
for the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo once again. This was frustrating because I
heard then calling long before the group appeared low over the trees. Whilst in
my haste to set up my camera I noticed a Buff Banded Rail washing up just in
front of a clump of reeds a few metres in front of me.
A fantastic finale to a flying
visit!
