Balyang: 15 Sept

September 24, 2014 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

Last week, Glenn and I went to Balyang. I had discovered the baby herons the day before and wanted to show him where to find them. I was leaving for my mothers that afternoon so we had to have a quick look.

Glenn doesn’t know how to have a quick look. I had to rush to be able to get to my mums in time. He got some awesome photos of a swamphen.

There was a number of wood ducks there, they have been there for a week. There are meant to be baby wood ducks further up the river! Glenn got some cool photos of one preening

We’ve also been enjoying the cockatoos there lately. I don’t think there are any more then usual. They probably aren’t even being more cheeky. I just think we are now there a lot more to observe such behaviour due to the better weather.
