Rain???

Shock, horror: raining at 7.00 am when I set off for a walk! There were plenty of water birds in the nature reserve swanning around regardless. No kangaroos though. I was wearing my bright red waterproof jacket, not ideal for birdwatching, I must admit. The spoonbills were busy going back and forth scooping up food. They have to spend many hours each day feeding.



We think these little birds are Welcome Swallows, but we came on holiday without our bird books or binoculars, not realising that this area would be so prolific:





Lots of samphire growing round the waterways:




When the weather cleared, Rocky posed for us as well:
