Great photos, the clarity in the coot is amazing. Are the corellas meant to have they red markings around the beak and eyes, they dont look too healthy

Thanks Andy, the red is natural. There was hundreds of them further up the river, noisy little bu@@ers as well.

Thought it might have been the mighty Murray ,we took one from Echuca for a week great fun and as you have shown great bird life .

The Kookabura corus in the evenings was awesome ,The radio check every moring was funny to esp when you are a radio novice and forget to press the send button whilst speaking

Dinky Di base to Dinky Di 10 [the hire boat company`s name] are you receiving over

Thanks Steve, i never heard a kookabura and i was really looking forwards to hearing them.

The last time i was up the river in a friends shack the Kookas could always be heard, just them and the fish jumping

in the early mornings, magic.
