A visit to the lake... - by
A narrative post about a lake visit to check water levels after storms. The author notes seasonal bird migrations, observes a lake now full of water with no flamingos or migratory birds present, and documents local wildlife including a Red-knobbed Coot, a possible Swan couple (likely Black Swans) with sun glare limiting certainty, and attacking coots. The tone combines nature appreciation with light humor and reflections on water’s importance to life, ending with a promise to research the swans in future posts. Photos accompany the story, credited to Zac Smith, using a Canon Powershot SX70 HS.
