Waterbirds

The lake in Macdougall Park in Como is slowly getting covered in more and more green algae.  The waterbirds ignore it and carry on as usual, some of them swimming right through it.

This is a family of coots. The mother is working exceedingly hard, diving to find food for her three hungry babies.

These ibis are poking about on a raised path across the lake; the algae can be seen on the left. The all-white bird at the top is a spoonbill.
