Little baby curlew

Curlew in the tree - ganggang

Weird dancing water dragon

Curlew guarding the pathway

Murro nguraga- long nose ibis

looking for food

Ants in the sandpits

How small, how strong

How much they can carry

Curlew walk

So strangely

 

Water dragon walking

In the sun

Baking

Mouth open

 

Plover plovering

Near gangang

Near the climbing equipment

 

Cheeky kids

Chasing

Wind whispering In the palms

Swaying swaying

 

People surrounded

In the meeting place

Collecting pipis

Having a fire

 

A poor ant

Stepped on an squished

 

Tails in the air

Bullar lizards running

 

Climbing a big tree

Who is the fastest?

 

Up the top of the tree

Two birds birds nesting
