On Lake Cartcarrong

On Lake Cartcarrong at Winslow water birds in numbers abound
In the Moyne Shire of south west Victoria bird watchers come to there from many kilometers around
To watch water birds there in their hundreds in the quiet of the Winslow's countryside
Bordered by reeds and lots of cover for birds from predators to hide
Plenty birds to see there on all Seasons Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
Most water birds are known to many by their coloring and their call
A place of many water bird species black swan, coot and dusky moorhen
Chestnut and grey teal, mountain duck and little grebes in flocks of nine or ten
Pied stilt, white eyed duck and pelican and ibis sacred and straw necked by the score
Probing the soft earth for slugs and worms bordering Lake Cartcarrong shore
Wading birds spoonbill and great egret in the shallows often seen
Lake Cartcarrong for it's water wildlife compares to the best bird watching places to i have been
A gem in the crown of the old Moyne Shire to bird watchers quite well known
Quite a pleasant place to visit with a charm of it's own.
