Thanks for this great video Rojer. I enjoyed my time at the Western Treatment Plant last October tremendously. You might not remember but it was you who pointed me to check out Werribee, and to "get the keys". I will always be grateful to you for this. I saw over 80 different birds there, all of them lifers, including a couple of brolgas and many birds featured in this video. :)

Hi, thank you for this. I am from Singapore and would love to visit the spots mentioned. I have always looked to Australia to escape the heat. Are the months May to July a good time to visit? Also how easy it is to get the key to the Western Treatment Plant? You are very lucky to have a friend that has the key.

Thank you, that is definitely a cooler time to visit c especially in the southern states where you will need warm clothes. Best to contact Melbourne Water for access, there might also be tour groups that go there. We have amazing birdlife here.

@RogerMacKertich 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. What is your suggestion please

@zonabrown9241 6 ай бұрын

Something soft maybe light classical

@RogerMacKertich 6 ай бұрын

@@zonabrown9241 that is a fair suggestion . There are already quite a few bird videos with classical music. I do get several comments that people like the music I put in, it is impossible to appeal to all.

G'day Roger, so many birds to see, I'm from Bendigo area and have been around the western treatment plant photographing birds along the foreshore, how do I get a key to the bird hide?thoroughly enjoyed your video.

@RogerMacKertich Ай бұрын

Thank you. I think there is a website for Melbourne water where you can request a key to pick up for the day from Werribee park. Best to check their website
