A compilation of the birds found at Herdsman Lake in Perth, Western Australia. As most of this footage was gained during winter, many of the birds are not in their full breeding plumage.
Only 7km from the city, Herdsman is a great place to see Perth birds as you can get over 70 species in a day just around the lake.
The birds in the video are Australian Reed-Warbler, Welcome Swallow, Freckled Duck (rare), Australasian Shoveler, Black Swan, Blue-billed Duck, Grey Teal, Black-winged Stilt, Coot, Australasian Grebe, Dusky Moorhen, Purple Swamphen, Buff-banded Rail, Great Egret, Glossy Ibis and Nankeen Night-heron.

My 3 cats came over to watch the video with me after hearing all the bird noises. We were all enchanted with it. ;-)
Those Australasian Grebes looks exactly like the Little Grebes that I've photographed a few weeks ago in Hungary. This video was very interesting.
This is lovely. Our pond is mostly frozen over and the waterfowl has left for any open water they can find. I have a video camera. I should get out and use it...next spring...
just a suggestions. If you set your blogger comment settings to 'pop-up' instead of 'embedded' it will be easier to leave a comment. I had to use IE instead of firefox.. Michelle
