Greens Lake Birdlife

We're currently camped at Greens until the end of Melbourne Cup Weekend, here's a few of our images of some of the birdlife. The Caspian Terns are the largest species of Tern in the world. The Plumed Whistling Duck was taken at nearby Lake Cooper. They are predominantly a bird of the tropics & are rare in Victoria

 

Cheers Keith

That's wonderful. More than I've ever seen down there. Will be walking with the camera when I get there this summer.

We've been at Greens for the past 5 nights & have 3 more nights to go. We're tucked in over the back away from the hustle & bustle, it's been a nice spot to hide over the long weekend. Don't know how you put up with all the activity near the boat ramp, each to their own though.smile Glad you like our bird photos, we were hoping to see some of the Brolgas that the Corop area is famous for. We saw them at Greens a few years back

Cheers Keith

Entertainment, Keith, entertainment. Best thing is it's free entertainment as well. I love watching the boats being launched etc by the newer boaters but equally enjoy watching the experienced.
