Extraordinary Riverland

This week saw a visit to South Australia's Riverland region over the course of 4 days.  The area encompasses significant production of citrus fruits and winegrapes.

The River Murray meanders its way through our State and, in the Riverland, through the towns of Renmark, Loxton, Berri and Waikerie (amongst others). The town of Barmera offers Lake Bonney as a major tourist attraction for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of city life - it surely is a very peaceful environment.  (I apologise for the fuzziness of some of these shots!)

            (I'd be very grateful if someone is able to identify this bird for me  :-))

                (.... the identity of this one also eludes me - possibly an owl ?)

Linking to Our World Tuesday and Wild Bird Wednesday, with grateful thanks to the hosts of both sites.  Trusting all in "blogland" are keeping safe and well.
