We thought we'd walk along and see if there was another bench (the sun had moved onto our one by now.
Did I remember to tell you it was hot?
On the far bank was a White-necked Heron, so easily identifiable, I mean, what what other name could you give it? Then a movement in the tree above us and Judy called Striped Honeyeater, gosh what a run-around it gave me. Eventually I managed a picture but he'd turned his head, the next image he'd jumped up a bit and there was no head, but his body was nicely in view!
A Willie Wagtail made up for him, by standing in full view on a branch over the river. We'd now found the next bench which was in the shade. What a delightful spot... Restless Flycatchers were here, a recently fledged family too. This guy settled on a twig right below us, almost at our feet. They do live up to their name - constantly on the go. Pretty too.
Hans had found us by now and we continued along the path. On the other side of the river a Kangaroo came in to drink.
Regarding the water... there'd been no rain for a long time, but every water body I saw was very brown, even where the water was still. I still don't understand why that would be.
Did I mention the heat?
