Little Egret in Flight : Diep River / Woodbridge Island |
A few of us ventured out this morning for some Birds in Flight photography and to assess the Diep River water levels down at Woodbridge Island.
Restoration of the old Wooden Bridge
We spent quite some time discussing the proposed restoration of the old wooden bridge of which should hopefully begin shortly - our biggest concern is the probable impact on the bird life - but, hopefully all will return back to normal after the restoration.
