I grabbed 45 minutes to visit the very metropolitan
Westgate Park, Port Melbourne. Of the pictures taken I was most pleased with this shot of an Australasian grebe.

| "Aargh! My reflective toupee has come off" |
 |
| I'm not sure why the bill of this New Holland Honeyeater looks over-sized! |
 |
| That's a little more like it! |
 |
| Chestnut teal and Pacific Black Duck looked very much at home |
 |
| Pacific black duck - motoring towards a prospective feed - none forthcoming! |
 |
| As I was leaving I spotted this dull bird I take to be a Golden whistler (female / immature) |
I invite you to click the Location geotag to see where Westgate Park fits into this very industrial area nestled amongst freeway, port and factories.

| A little Instagram filter action happening in this shot! |
Bird on!
