A Few...

A few photos taken at Tomato Lake, one of the places around the Perth metropolitan area that's known for it's abundance of bird life.  

Sadly though, when these were taken the lake was incredibly low, and the birds few. It's getting closer to breeding season for the white Ibis, equally sad is that their normal nesting area has died in huge clumps over the summer months. Adding to that there's a prominent sand island where normally the water is a good depth. It's definitely very sobering seeing wetland areas beginning to struggle more each year during the dreadful harsh summer weather...
