Morang Wetlands - First visit

First visit to Morang Wetlands in South Morang. Not the best time of day but photographed a few waterbird species and a pair of turtles. Looking forward to a visit earlier in the morning soon. Two very nice men - fellow photographers - kindly pointed me in the right direction, kept to the track today but will walk closer to the water next time.
