Only saw the one Nankeen, but usually lots of white faced herons, egrets and spoonbills, generally lots of pelicans and uncountable numbers of ibis. 🤞bird flu doesn’t take off.

Beautiful, hope you enjoyed your trip. So peaceful at horseshoe lagoon. Here’s a giant carp leaping out, and later a swamp hen eating one. Too macabre?

I have giant lemons. The big ones are not very juicy, but sweet and the size of a grapefruit. 🍋 I’m making lemon butter.
Tow huge lemons  and a normal one for comparison. The normal one has much thinner pith.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a turkey close up before ( not a joke). #birds Stunning colours and feather display.
Beautiful red front and blue face contrasting with black and white splayed feathers.Another view showing the feather display including beige, grey, white, black and the colourful face “wattle”?Close up of wrinkly blue head, bright red I think it might be the wattle. Quite astonishing

Here’s my Murnong ( yam daisy). The do go wild in the bush remnants around here but this one grew from seed collected by volunteers locally( with permission). @anntics.bsky.social
Night yellow daisy like flower-looks like a dandelion but has the thin scrappy leaves of Murnong not the broad flat rosette of the introduced weed.
