Down The Lagoon Again..

We went for a walk down to the Lagoon before lunch as it was a lovely day.
Tony always stops and gives the horses some grass they love that.
They are so friendly I guess they know us now.



Too bad if you wanted to have a picnic near the water
Its a little flooded though the birds love it..



Somewhere under that water is the dock where the boys with their toys play.
Sunday mornings they are down there with the remotes scaring the ducks away.



They did not have that problem today..



I was surprised to see a spoonbill flying off first time for me..



You would never know there is a shopping centre behind the trees
Middle left that building is Coles..



I like the other end the best all you see is water and duck/birds/horses

A lovely and relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.

Thanks Gail, yes we walk down there often it is lovely down there during the week, gets busy on Sunday's though with all the picnickers, plenty of room to kick a ball and have fun..

What a lovely, serene area...and fabulous photos.It must be wonderful to have that lovely spot within walking distance.

Thanks and yes it is Fay its a big area 8.7ha of shallow open water you cannot walk around it all the way because of the shopping centre we stick to this side where the picnic area is..

Lovely MA I your Lagoon , so peaceful and the birds are a bonus, the spoonbill is so elegant.

Thanks Gwen yes its lovely and only a short walk away I got a pic of the spoonbill where its beak looked like a spoon too but it was too far away, there is always another day..

Great pics MA, glad to see the wildlife enjoying all the extra rain

Thanks Cheryl .. Yes all the birds are loving the extended water err edge

It was not that long ago we could walk out to that little island in the last pic I hope that never happens again..

Beautiful photos of a lovely spot MA. Yes it's a trifle wet isn't it? I love the cloud formations you've captured too.

Thanks Val.. I am cloud mad I clouds they make such good photo's when I take them on auto-bracketing then put them into this HDR program I have they stand out good like that one above...

I've just been to visit your lagoon again MA , I love it , I suppose by now thw water has receeded to its normal level.Don't forget when you get a spoonbill pic showing the spoon shape
of the bill to post it for all the bird lovers to enjoy.

Thanks Gwen it is a delightful area and No the water has not receded yet, there is nowhere for it to go except by evaporation and I am glad as the Old Boys with their noisy remote watercraft have not been on the Lagoon for weeks so they wont be there this Sunday either..

I think I may have a pic of the spoonbills spoon shaped beak I will see if I can find it for you..

Our March Newsletter states Logan Council are going to build a new jetty and storage facility for the model boat club what a shame for the birds..
