Watch as a large black and white figure
Soars through the air, occasionally swooping
Down for food
See how it hits the shimmering
Salt water of lake Eyre,
Scooping up its find, waddling
To the bank,
What a majestic creature it is,
Proudly it shows its young what’s for
Dinner, fish it looks like for tonight,
What will it be tomorrow?
