We decided to have a quiet weekend this weekend so I took the opportunity to go for a walk around Red Hill Nature Reserve. The weather was against me again as it was a very cloudy start to the day with the sky mainly filled with ominous, dark grey clouds that seemed to mean business but were too high to really be serious about raining. While they did not open-up when I was out they kept the sun hidden away reducing the ambient light. Despite the lack of good lighting I still had an enjoyable walk. I saw some sights I had no hope of catching with my camera because of the light condition but it was a lovely start to the day. As always on Red Hill there were kangaroos, cockatoos, rosellas, wood ducks, magpies, etc. The hill is getting ready for spring with all the birds seeming to know the seasons will change soon. I have noted some locations of nesting magpies so hopefully I can return shortly to photograph the feeding of young ones. I hope you enjoy these photographs.
