Light rain at the lake today. There are the usual birds of the last few days: reed warblers, coots, bardoongooba shovelers, marangana wood ducks, kwirlam the swamphen, nolyang the moorhen, yet, ngoonan, wimbin, hardheads. Plus today there’s also the nankeen night heron, a seagull and now what I believe to be a swamp harrier, all long-wingspanned and orange brown, flying low overhead. I notice only the coots make a noise in the grass on the other side, but then in comes one solitary seagull to chase the harrier away (two other seagulls fly in support) to the northern part of the lake, where the harrier pursues two black winged stilts…and then is gone from my vision.
