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”! There was a Koala doing…nothing! Koala doing…nothing!
