Must be a day for the birds — running a bit late this morning due to sleeping in, I made myself even later by stopping for a couple of minutes to take some photos of a Nankeen Night-heron in the creek. The pictures didn’t come out very well, they were at the extreme end of the digital zoom, but it was unusual enough to see one out in daylight. Normally that rock is frequented by a White-faced heron. I really need an SLR and a good lense for wildlife pictures, but there’s no way I’d carry it around with me!
Half an hour later, riding in the gates at Monash there was a White Ibis flying past overhead. I guess that might mean something important if I was in ancient Egypt, as it was all it meant was two more birds to add to the list I’ve seen while commuting.
