KOOLAMARA WATERS WALK

KOOLAMARA WATERS in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges is one of my favourite local birding spots.

 On Sunday afternoon I spent a little while observing birds and capturing on camera the following.

The parklands were lush with green grass. It was August, the last month of winter.

It was time well spent.
