Yesterday I decided to explore a little more of North Glenelg around the Patawalonga River.
There is a small section near the skate park which is teaming with bird life including gulls, cormorants, and pelicans. This time I found a great egret. This is the second great egret I have seen this year. The last being at the Torrens River mouth back on day 32.
I waited patiently to see if the bird would take flight but alas it was quite happy to continue wading and watching until I gave up!
