Lake Atkinson / Lake Galletly

We went in search of a species I have sought after for a while now but they have always eluded us. The Australian Hobby is a common species but not common enough for us to have seen one yet. We had read that they were recently seen around 7 Mile Lagoon so we drove to Lake Atkinson first with the idea that we would come back via 7 Mile Lagoon, Lake Clarendon and hopefully be lucky enough to see the Cape Barron Goose that had also been recently spotted at Lake Galletly. Unfortunately neither of these eventuated  however we did add a Caspian Tern to the list.
