Dagun is a small rural community in the Mary Valley.
Although the train no longer runs through Dagun, the community have looked after the station, and hold farmers markets on a regular basis. The pineapples here are very nice, sweet and juicy, should have bought more!

This Welcome Swallow was gathering mud for its' nest. I would like to know how it managed to keep its head clean.

The White-browed Scrubwren was busy feeding young with little fat caterpillars.

As we walked along the road we came upon this White-necked Heron searching for food around the edges of a farm dam.

A great series of photos - I especially like the little wren with the caterpillar in its beak.
Wonderful series, Neil! The scrubwren is cute and it neat to see another species of heron. Wonderful photos.
thanks for taking us along to this quaint location and the beautiful birds you picked up too
Lovely birds, nice post for WBW!
Looks like a quaint little station and nice that's it's being kept up and repurposed.
That little wren has a look of being caught in the act - nice catch for bird and photographer! :)
Dagun looks like a great little place to wander around in and enjoy things closeup. Love how you've captured different birds getting on with their chores!
I would love to take that walk with you! Your birds are just amazing. One day I hope to make it to Aussie and see for myself,
Neat series! That caterpillar is as big as the bird! Wonderful shots of all the birds. Wish I had one of those pineapples.
The swallow is such a lovely colour! Great shots!
Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Nice set of pictures - I got very wet feet (and no decent pictures) a while ago trying to photograph the WN Heron.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.
