After scaring myself that Penny might nibble some rabbit droppings along The Plenty River Trail yesterday, I moved her walk to our old favorite, Warringal Parklands. We had our usual fun, with lots of walking and swimming, but the difference on this walk was the number of birds we saw.
Do you know that feeling that someone is watching you?

Well, in this park they are!

(Sometimes from behind a blade of grass.)

A big flock of ducks was munching on grass, and disobligingly flew off when I crept closer to take a photo of them, but when we came back from Pennys swim in the Yarra, they were back in the same place.

I left them in peace this time, because I knew I couldnt get a photo in focus with my little point-and-shoot camera. Heres the one of them leaving previously:

The various birds that live in the parklands dont seem to care about dogs. They simply fly into the air, circle and land in the same place a couple of minutes after we pass by.

Back again:

Penny found the birds quite boring. She would rather eat some grass.
