Had lunch in town today and went for a walk along the esplanade after work. Yeppoon Lagoon (last three photos) is a free resort style water park operated by the council. The Curlews were making the most of the lack of people.

Today's campus birds started with a small group of three Bush Stone-curlews this morning, and then a family of ducks, some swamphen chicks and a Noisy Miner this afternoon.

Campus birds from the past couple of days.

Of the two Masked Lapwing chicks I found a couple of weeks back, it seems only one remains, but it's healthy looking and foraging for itself.

I also came across a couple of disapproving Bush Stone-Curlews, and this morning, a Pacific Black Duck, perched on a rock in the lake, absorbing the morning sun.

A lone Hardhead (dark brown duck with white eyes) was swimming around on the lake yesterday. This morning though, there was a Bush Stone-curlew hiding under a bush, and some Dusky Moorhen chicks learning to forage from their parents.

Our resident Swamp Wallaby was in the front yard this morning :)

Then at work, I saw a Bush Stone-Curlew sunning itself, and a couple of baby Masked Lapwings (probably a day or two old).

One of two Welcome Swallows I encountered on the new bridge on the main lake at UQ, two resting Bush Stone-curlews in the Women's College carpark, and a mossy turtle with duck escorts.

There were two Bush Stone-curlews at the carpark this morning, and this one looked particularly surprised.

Also, a Pacific Black Duck, not at all perturbed by the algae on the wetlands portion of the lake at work.

There are nesting Bush Stone-curlews on campus, and the Pacific Black Ducks were enjoying the wetlands section of the new rejuvenated lake this morning.
