My most recent visit on 31 May 2015.

Some sunrise pictures.

Then I spotted the Reserve's newest arrival which was only a few days old and was mostly hidden by the long grass.

Looking out from the Island View Hide.

Not much action there.

A little way up the road, the resident Blackbreasted Snake Eagle.

And at the Otter Bridge, a Malachite Kingfisher.

And around and about.
