Bramanda is fortunate enough to work about 1.5km apart at North Parramatta. When we can coincide lunchtimes, we will occasionally nip over to Lake Parramatta. Here are some things we saw last visit – all without even getting up from the rock we were sitting on.
Willy Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys)
Lake Parramatta is a lake formed by damming Hunts Creek in 1856 as a water supply, but is now used only for recreation. It is surrounded by a 73 hectare Nature Reserve, and is home to many birds, lizards and snakes.
Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneaus) 
Australian Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii) 
Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans) 
A juvenile Crimson 
Not a bad haul for a quick lunch break!
