a walk along the cycleway -BLACKALLS PARK



Yesterday eve, I went for a small stroll along the cycle way at Blackalls Park. It has been some months since I have traveled the path but with the beginning of day light saving in this fair state and the coolness of the eve, I plan to make the most of it.

Much to my delight the fairy wrens were around, though not quite sure which ones as they move so fast. Their call is joy to my heart. The red-brow finch was also very busy. There were many of them further down the path not far from where the swans were. One of the finches stood no more than a metre away from me.

The cycle way is between suburbia and the lake, going from Fassifern and ending in Toronto, following the old railway line.

The swans were feeding and swimming by them were 3 ducks, pacific blacks, I think.

It was such a lovely walk......
