On our way home from MIL’s on Sunday, we took the scenic route home through Parramatta Park. I had not been here in a long time so it was a pleasant visit. I was shocked as we got out the car to find all these cockies ‘waiting’ for us!
Dozens of cockies all over the place!! I’m not sure what is it but I think it must be some sort of mating season now. These birds were so noisy too!!
Further down is Parramatta River and just across it was a huge nesting grounds for the bats. It was quite a sight and it was the first time I ever saw that many bats in one place, out in the open like that. It was times like that that I wished I had a more powderful camera as it would have definitely made a difference in some of the shots that we took.
Ted took this shot although I tried to myself, no bats wanted to fly by!!
Here’s a closer look at the nesting bats - all asleep during the day as it was about 2.30pm when we took this shot.
A step back and this is what they look like.
A little further and you’d think that this was just outside Batman’s lair!
It was really cold out that day so to have a nice bundle to hold on to was SUCH a blessing!
