I was out for a walk today I to the wetlands. There was not a lot of bird life around today but it was a lovely afternoon. Sadly while I was out I was keeping an eye out for any sick birds. Although the first bird flue outbreak in Victoria was down at Portland it won’t take long for it to reach up here and the wetlands could be the spot it first appears. So if you are out walking here even if you are not interested in bird life and you see a sick bird report it to the authorities. It would be a very sad place if we no longer heard the laugh of the Kookaburra or flash of blue created by the feisty Fairy Wren
