Check my birding map for specific location.
Now heading west from Wagga Wagga, I made a stop at Leeton to go to Fivebough Wetlands. Talk about right place, right time. A few weeks ago, the whole area had been flooded and there were no birds to be seen. On my visit, the water was much lower and the birdlife was incredible. On my first visit, I spent over 6 hours wandering around and counted nearly 60 species.
