I spent a very enjoyable day wandering around Oatley Park looking at the plants and animals. The wildflowers were nice, some lizards were out and the birds were chirping.
This time I started from Oatley Station, and walked down to the park and entered via the track that goes towards the swimming area. I the continued on the track around the point, and then down the road to Lime Kiln Bay. I then crossed the bridge and followed the track on the west side of Lime Kiln Bay to the wetlands – then back up the road, to Websters Lookout and then across the top to the new kids park and then back to Oatley Station.
Here are some flowers –

A pair of these Kingfishers were pecking a hole into a termite nest to excavate a nest. Interesting to watch.
