I was heading to Boorawa with Digi Dave for a stay at a friend’s property. Digi Dave suggested driving down via Crookwell as this would allow us to visit Pejar Dam. This sounded like a good idea.

In the water were a lot of the usual waterbirds – Coots and Teals etc. But there was also a number of Greater Crested Grebes.
There were also some Dusky Woodswallows.

A Red-rumped Parrot –
There were a lot of Yellow-rumped Thornbills –
And a few Starlings –
