SECRET bird business on the BASS COAST

We recently popped down to see what happened at the Mouth of the Powlett River. The conditions were calm for a kayak & before the Easter crowd turned up, it was lovely & quiet. Perfect for everything!
Now, if you've ever tried to spot Lewin's Rails, you'd know just how difficult these little birds can be to see so Nimal was pretty happy to spot two foraging along the river bank.
So join us as we enjoy a lovely Easter Sunday exploring the Mouth of the Powlett River.

Great to see this little birds (Lewin's Rails) and I liked the big bird (Great Egret)so close by to show you the difference in size. I have never seen this little bird before. Thank you for taking us along Karen and Nimal. Hope you are both well.

They are really quite rare to see so Nimal was very excited! Thanks so much for watching & hope you are both well too!! 😀

[@naturephotographychallenge]

We love birds too! 😀

It seems like a you had a nice kayak-tour, Karen🙂And Nimal sure had a lovely time with the rails. Best of all: they were still there when you came back. I gather this was a nice 1-day excursion for you?

[@naturephotographychallenge]

oooh sorry for the late reply... I missed seeing your message! Yes just a day trip 😀 It's only about an hour & a half from home & an easy drive. The kayaking there was wonderful. So pretty!! The Rails were so cute!! We rarely see them so it was quite a pleasant surprise!

Great find! Have you ever made a video of what equipment you use, or have a link in the description of any of your videos?

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks! 😀 Ironically the next video is going to mention our cameras as we just got a new one. Up until recently, we've both been using Micro 4/3. I've been using a Panasonic G9/PL 100-400 & Nimal uses an Olympus OM-DE1iii/Olympus 100-400. We don't generally talk about our cameras as we only had the same ones & I guess they're old now. Still good though! But fun to now have a new toy to play with!! 😀 ~ Karen
