Dawn at the Lake

Dawn is an amazing time to walk down to the lake. Many birds are waking up or feeding. The waters are often still, giving opportunities to photograph reflections.

The recent poor quality of the monsoon has meant that open water is in great demand. Painted stork and a range of heron are still at the lake. As you walk along the shore, yellow-wattled lapwing wheel overhead, warning of intrusions into  nesting areas.
