Whilst out testing my new Mad River Explorer 14TT last weekend, I got to spend a fair bit of time relaxing on Lake Avoca on NSW’s Central Coast. One of the great joys I discovered in the canoe was the ability to pull out a decent sized camera to take photos of the wildlife around me. On this particular lake, that amounts to a vast array of water birds. So here’s a little taste of the birdlife I got to explore – cheers, FP.
