A few months later I headed back to the wetlands to see what else I could find. It was a wet morning and wasn't long before I came across this gorgeous little wallaby.
 |
| Swamp wallaby, Wallabia bicolor |
A curious currawong wanted to check me out as I passed him on the boardwalk.
 |
| Grey currawong, Strepera versicolor |
It was too cold and wet for the snakes this time!
The stormy clouds made for some interesting light as these two geese emerged from behind the hill.
 |
| Cape barren goose, Cereopsis novaehollandiae |
 |
| Purple swamphen, Porphyrio porphyrio |
 |
| Masked lapwing, Vanellus miles novaehollandiae |
The wings on this Ibis had a wonderful multicoloured, irridescent sheen to them.
 |
| Straw-necked ibis, Threskiornis spinicollis |
 |
| Little pied cormorant, Phalacrocorax melanoleucos |
 |
| Willie wagtail, Rhipidura leucophrys |
 |
Silvereye or Wax-eye, Zosterops lateralis
|
It turned out to be a pretty successful walk, despite the miserable weather.
