Spring At The Anchorage And Iluka

 

Spring!

Historically, spring in Iluka can be expected to be gorgeous days, not too hot, not too cold. There is usually a bit of a wind that picks up after lunch, but all in all, a really lovely time of year. We are hoping that this year will prove the same! Baby ‘everythings’ start to appear and we spend a fair bit of our time rescuing tiny birds who have been blown out of their nests. Already, we have a family of ducks who are enjoying the pond down the back of the park...mum, dad and 9...yes, nine...ducklings! Two swallows have built their nest in our workshed again...we think it’s in a most inappropriate place, but it’s the same location as last year, so we guess it’s a good one for them. Anne and Graeme think there are baby lorikeets in their bird house at Amarco—they haven’t seen them yet, but mum and dad have been acting very protective, so presumably the babies are in there. Soon we will expect the dolphins to bring their babies to our end of the river, where they use the shallow water near our jetty to teach the young ones how to fish. What a great time to be in Iluka!
