Scores of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks circled overhead, these vocal ducks are often hunted illegally here so it was refreshing to see so many. Arriving before sunrise, we could already see the thick clouds on the horizon. Farmers keep their livestock in this wetland also. Such is birding, such is life.

Grey Teal roosted around a dam alongside Black-fronted Dotterels and Red-kneed Dotterels and Australian Pratincoles were well-camouflaged amongst the cattle.
