… on South German Track is now proving to be a true oasis for birds in this baking summer. As I write this, however, it’s raining and the thermometer is hovering around 15C, a welcome contrast to the past month.
A pair of Black-fronted Dotterels foraged along the shoreline of the pool and a party of Rainbow Bee-eaters arrived to bathe and hawk for insects above the water.
A Sacred Kingfisher perched nearby and Eastern Rosellas came in to drink, while Black-chinned Honeyeaters called nearby. It was a magic hour.

Fantastic shots, Geoff. I was particularly taken with the third dotterel shot and its mirror like reflection. Beautiful!
Hi Geoff, love all these photos with their soft backgrounds. Beautiful. Cheers. Sue Lanchester woodend nth.
