We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we drove to First Lake and then hiked up through the forest going south towards Third Lake then branching off onto the narrow trail that leads to the top of Plateau Mountain. It was a lovely sunny day, quite mild with some patches of fog about here and there. The fairly flat area on top of the mountain is criss-crossed with flagged trails through the open forest and the hikers got split up, one group having lunch on one side where there was no fog and more view while the larger group had fog all around, but warm sunshine from above.
My photo this week is of a flock of Common Goldeneye ducks that were scooting around in Gillies Bay spending more time doing springtime mating displays than diving for fish. This group were a mix of colourful males and rather less distinctive females.
