20200602-MMPI0064

Tuesday 2nd June 2020 saw me drop into University of Queensland at St Lucia, Queensland, Australia for a morning outing. The morning saw some lovely light, and with many Little Black Cormorants nesting in a tree on the lake there were lots of good opportunities for in-flight shots. Today a pair of Australian Pelican were on the lake, wonderful to see these big birds there.
