Not much in the way of interesting birds today, but I did see this baby Dusky Moorhen, flanked by a couple of adults, making a beeline for its mother to beg for food.
Some very busy ducklings (and mumma-duck), a juvenile Dusky Moorhen, and a rainbow fountain.

The Dusky Moorhen chicks are looking more like their parents every day now, but that doesn't stop them constantly calling to be fed.
One of three Dusky Moorhen chicks (about a week old) that I saw swimming through the reeds the other day.
This juvenile Dusky Moorhen was swimming with its parents but constantly calling (the parents were having none of it though).
Some afternoon birds on the lake yesterday when leaving work.
An Australasian Grebe, and two shots of a Dusky Moorhen chick.

A few birds from my walk around the lake this arvo (returning from the other side of campus from a job)
We have a Hardhead (and its reflection); a Dusky Moorhen chick; an Australian White Ibis (aka Bin Chicken), washing itself; a Magpie Lark (aka Peewee)
