19 Sep 2016 Newstead

I nipped up to Castlemaine to get some work done on one of the basses and popped across to Newstead on the way home. Its a great spot for wildlife, especially birds. The Loddon had overflowed in the week, it was on the way back down when I got there.

A superb fairy wren in full voice

White plumbed honeyeaters can be tricky to photograph as they don't hang around long, but this one obliged

The aptly named SilverEyes are very cute...

And a cute weebill made an appearance

And finally, down by the bridge over the Loddon a couple of red rumped parrots were busy in a tree. they didn't seem overly bothered by me
