They are rather striking. These are by far the most common gulls here.

This is a Great Cororant.

Looks just like (or very much like) the one who is swimming out in front of my deck right now! 🙂 I love Cormorants' eyes -- such a gorgeous turquoise color!

Belted Kingfisher - I believe this is a female and I found out that male kingfishers stay year round where the female migrates further south for the winter. See long distance relationships can work. 🤣

These are Eurasian Coot.

I read on one of my birding forums that birds are nesting and don't go too far from the nest.

This is a Little Pied Cormorant.

And this is the Goolwa Barrage, the Lake Alexandrina side, where I have been taking these water bird pics. Most of the pics were taken on the Barrage itself.
