Local wetland

 Parts of our big local park, Queen Elizabeth Park, have been farmed and degraded over the years. But the works have begun to revitalise its more natural environment - wetlands and native plants on sand dunes. Cycle trails through the park now go past some new swampy areas.

Looking a bit Scottish here, but no bogs to suck you under. There's an Australasian harrier hawk in there somewhere, on the ground scaring the little birds. Saw black swans, Canada geese, larks ascending and descending, Australian eastern rosellas, silvereyes, misc ducks etc. Nice to see and hear the chorus as you cycle through.
