CommentIn one of their favoured locations, I came across a party of four Brolgas working their way along the Western Lagoon, Werribee. As I watched them, one seemed to be in exceptionally high spirits, playfully tossing a branch up in the air, hopping, dancing, flapping its huge wings. Here is a moment as the Brolga jumps with joy, framed against the You Yangs range in the background. Whatever else is happening on the planet, all is at least right, it seems, in Werribee’s Brolga community.
