Cotter Dam is one of Canberra’s water sources, part of the city’s watershed to the south, thus giving the Australian Capital Territory its elongated shape. The urban area is in the north of the territory while lovely bushland is in the south. I thought it would be worth a trip to the area around the dam to take some photographs. If the wildlife opportunities were slim I figured I would take a photograph of the dam itself. The weather was forecast to be sunny so I was looking forward to a fine morning to take some nice pictures. Unfortunately, a fog rolled in, covering the whole area. Even the dam surface was obscured. The wind disturbed the top of the fog allowing some views of distant mountains but the thick body of the fog remained. I was still able to see some birdlife but photography was a challenge. Unfortunately, I missed a shot of a lyrebird on the trail because the fog was thick, reducing the light. I was trying to set up a low light shot but I do not know if my movement disturbed the bird or the sound of two trail runners coming up behind me spooked it but the bird moved off the trail and I could not see where it went. Despite losing that shot, I was able to take photographs of two types of honeyeaters. Later on that day I took my camera out around home to take some more photographs. I hope you like the photos below.
