Walking back from Bibina to a bus stop, we came across this lovely bunch of birds around a storm water channel. Right next to the very busy Hillsborough Road.

"Birds of a feather", etc.

Always look in the storm water channels. Two white-faced herons seen in the channels, walking from the train station at Broadmeadow NSW to Kwon Mart (Korean grocer) at New Lambton. A third seen on the playing fields, near some ibis.
