Sunning Freckle

Another spot of birding on the cards late this afternoon. This time the venue was Herdsman Lake - a birding hot spot no more then 15 minutes from the city centre. There must have been over 200 hundred freckled ducks there today! I also managed to get glossy ibis - a newbie for this year :)

Other highlights included: Hobby falcon, brown goshawk, swamp harrier, great cormorant and a white-faced heron coming in to land on "the tree" (a well known tree that has great afternoon sun and is perfect for capturing landings and takeoffs!).

Hope you're all having a lovely long weekend (if your in oz) and if it's just finishing (like it is for me!) I hope it was a good one :)
