Leap Day

The last part of the last day of summer was a beautiful evening with the dogs beside Lake Wendouree:
They were so excited it was hard to get a good photo of them.

Such a peaceful evening.

So much to look at.

This was some completely unexpected wildlife:
A black wallaby, in what really is quite a suburban area, surrounded by busy roads. How did it get here? Can it survive here?

A bird I don't think I have ever seen before in real life:
Known since my childhood from a bird card out of Tuckfields "Ty-nee Tips" tea, the nankeen night heron, Nycticorax caledonicus.
