A Morning At Mary River Flood Plains

FF
A misty morning without my umbrella. The Freshwater Mangrove bloom is well underway. I accidentally chased the Southern Boobook out from roosting in a Freshwater Mangrove because I was really stalking and watching the White-throated Honeyeaters bathing and drinking in the dew laden leaves. Still plenty of water in the billabongs although the creeks have just about dried up and the red bush apples seem to be flowering.
