St. Kilda and surroundings 1

One weekend we just looked at the map and decided to go to St.Kilda. Maybe it was because of conservation park sign, maybe because that name was familiar to us (somebody told about adventure playground based here, also we heard about Melbourne’s St.Kilda). First thing we saw when we got out of a car was birds. Lots of them.

We had a short walk along the seaside, weather was cold and windy. We decided to come here next day.

Not far away from St.Kilda you can go fishing and catch some sharks. Though, it would be fishing in a pretty industrial area.

In the penninsula on the other side we saw lots of factories in an empty field.

So, one sunny weekend, we came back. As we prommised. To St.Kilda.

Birds were posing while Laurius was locking the car. Singing honeyeater.

Few different ones. Grey Shrike-thrush (left), Grey Fantail (right).

Find a little wren in it’s natural environment!

A mangrove trail. Left: a bird watching point. Right – a trail on a sea wall. This wall was built to make farmlands from sea flooded fields.

Strange plants growing here.

You can see changing flora while walking towards sea.

It was a time for flood – water was moving like a river.

It happens two times a day.

Part of the trail was closed, because waves made some damage. What wawes in the forest?

But dolphins in the forest sound more unbelievable.

On the left – open sea. Well, not open, it is actually a gulf.

It was an experience to see the sea not wawing back and forwards, but moving like a river – going one direction.
