Moore Reserve

A sunny, frosty morning so a quick trip to Moore Reserve to brush the cobwebs off our birding gear. Lots of lovely sun but most of it low and shaded by all the trees so the reserve was quite dim. First hide full of photographers (only place with any sun) and no room left. They stayed there all day. Getting a little fed up of the sheer number of photographers around these days, ironic as that may be. Feeding station in deep shade so didn't wait for very long. Lots of gulls on the main lagoon, and a trio of Little Grebe feeding in front. Water Rail seen later on a little island before zipping off into the reeds.
