Lameroo, South Australia
On the first morning of our recent road trip to Sydney we left in good time in the morning. We stopped for a short break at Lake Roberts in Lameroo in the eastern district of South Australia. We had a cup of tea, a few biscuits and changed drivers.
This spot is a favourite picnic area for us and we have stopped here many times in the past. It is usually a good spot for birding but on this occasion I only recorded a few species, including the duck shown in the photo above. That is not an Australian native bird! Below is a distant shot of an Australasian Grebe out in the middle of the artificial lake.
