| This whiskered fellow was enjoying the green spaces in Swan Lake Village |
| This little yellow bird watched me closely as I walked by. (Possibly a warbler but most likely an immature Yellow-bellied Flycatcher). |

| Caspian Tern |
| My favourite bird to watch on the lake. He constantly dove from a height into the water and most times caught a good sized fish. |
| Caspian Tern |
| He was fishing about 160 meters away when he dove into the water and caught this fish. Water is still cascading off him as he had just come out of the water and was attempting to return to the air with his catch. |
