We had just made a quick visit to the property. My parents wanted to look at something in Ballarat so kindly dropped Seth and I off and Lake Wendoree. We did have plans to go to the playground but, er, one of us got distracted.
This location is known for its nesting great crested grebes. This offers beautiful photo opportunities, especially with courtship and chick raising. Moreso than the other local grebe species. I’ve observed Australasian grebes nesting and raising chicks in the past, but their size is tiny in comparison. I could have easily spent hours here.

Greeting
Reminded me of the beautiful greeting display the gannets do.

Other animals
We did look for other animals in the area. It seems to have a decent variety of ducks, although it’s easier for me to head out to Lake Lorne. I’d love to do a full walk around here one day, taking my time. Yet another beautiful location for the bucket list 🙂
