All the pretty birds would be a more fitting title for this week's collection of favourite images, which is not too much of a surprise if you consider that I've spent most of this week by the duck pond in Centennial Park.
That's not due to any particular fondness for ducks (though I must admit, they can be entertaining) but more because it was about the coolest place I could think of, a virtual necessity with the mercury hitting 37.3 in the city. And here's what we saw.
A geese family outing...
An Australian pelican, beating the ducks to it in the race for bread crumbs...
And finally, you can always rely on a photogenic black swan for a pretty picture...
A sacred, or Australian white Ibis. Not quite sure where these birds get their name from, as they're neither particularly white (more grubby), nor sacred (to the contrary, they're typically considered a pest...) But they can't help that, and personally I think this bird is beautiful in its own way...
