Fogg Dam - Birds


During our trip to the Northern Territory in August we drove from Darwin to the Mary River National Park. On the way stopped off at Fogg Dam which turned out to be a wonderful place for birdlife. Such a pretty place as well and can only imagine what it must be like in the wet season.
