March 2013

The following photos were taken during a BirdLife Melbourne beginners outing. The day was mild with some welcome sunshine and calm at times, but windy at others. We recorded more than 30 bird species. After a morning spent walking in the northern section of the park, we drove to Banyule Flats for the afternoon.

    Sunlit trees with dark clouds in the distance. Showers were forecast for the
     afternoon or evening, but It remained dry while we were at the park.
