My pal and I spent yesterday on
a road trip from Perth to spend the weekend with another former colleague who
lives in Kalgoolie. The afternoon was spent with local people during ANZAC day.
The plan is to spend a couple of days in Esperance before returning to Perth.
This morning we took a trip to
Lake Douglas recreation Reserve which offers camping around a naturally rain
filled lake. The surrounding area was sparsely vegetated with patches of eucalyptus
which held a few passerines including Striated Pardalote.
A couple of Black Fronted
Dotterel was found patrolling the sandy margins.
The lake held a few wildfowl
including Grey Teal, Maned and Pacific Black Duck. White Faced and White Necked
Stork were seen fishing in the open margins.
Australian Grebe remained closer
to an area of reeds at the far end of the lake.
A Yellow billed Spoonbill looked lost clinging onto a submerged branch in the centre of the lake.
