Fish Creek to Buffalo

10,000 Birds

Over recent weeks I have been able to share some of my observations along the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria, Australia. They are very similar to the Masked Lapwings in the north of Australia, but of course they have ‘black shoulders”! Two Cattle Egrets with four cows! Black-shouldered Lapwings.

Foster to Toora

10,000 Birds

There is a water trough for the dairy cows, but sometimes the Pacific Black Ducks take advantage of the trough! Foxes were introduced to Australia in 1855 for hunting and have established themselves far and wide. I also often observe a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles towards the hills on my left as I follow this section of trail.
