Chain of Lagoons and Little Beach

Another sunny Wednesday with an array of birds, great morning tea and a keen mob of birders/morning tea lovers! This time we visited 2 locations; Little Beach and Lagoons Beach so it was a full morning of birds. 
 
You will notice on this list that frogs are included, so brush up on your frog calls so we can keep adding their distribution to the data set.
 
July walk location to follow soon.
 
Enjoy the winter chill.
 
Best birding wishes,
Liz
