A hot but peaceful Friday morning: Archerfield Wetlands, 31 January 2025
Ever since I started going to Archerfield Wetlands, I’ve wanted to do the full walk to the north end of the wetlands, and this Friday morning seemed like the right time. It was a hot, sunny morning, but there were lots of birds so it was worth it. I was greeted as I entered by…

I was so keen to see what the wetlands were like…
