At this time of year nest building is the priority. Here we have a Wren and Tree Hopper with their beaks full of nesting material.

All photographs were taken in and around Swan Valley Lake Park during the month of March. The park is a small nature reserve in the Blackwater Valley on the outskirts of Sandhurst. There is a huge variety of bird and insect life and if you are lucky you may even see an occassional deer or fox.
