On farmland South of Willaura, I counted 74 Brolgas this am. Here are 57 of them within a 9 frame panorama. You might need to view large to count them. April 29.

Black-shouldered Kites are tireless hunters above the paddocks of Western Victoria. When the wind is strong they stretch their wings, Albatross-like, and hold still as they scan for prey. April 25 near Tatyoon.

A Chestnut Teal feathers into the spillway at Green Hill Lake, Ararat. These recent arrivals seem unbothered by nearby bipeds as they dabble away the day.
