Cullendulla Creek Nature Reserve

 My local Nature Reserve.

September 25

Low tide for the walk today and from the beach I noticed a White-bellied Sea Eagle on the other side of the creek on Square Head. I walked out along the spit to get as close as I could for a shot.

As I turned to leave he flew out over the shallows in a lazy loop then made a dive.

I was following his dive with the camera shutter furiously clicking and just as he was about to grab the fish the buffering stopped the shutter and I missed the capture

                                       

                                                                                     

                                      

Some nice photos, but now do I spend $200 to upgrade my SD to a faster card ?

On the spit some of the usual  regulars.

Great Cormorants

Pied Oystercatcher

Creek view

Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens

 Always a nice relaxing walk around the gardens.

This post will be a repository for visits to the gardens over time.

Its been a wet winter and Spring is expected to be more of the same. A couple of nice days to work in the garden at Bundanoon and do a few walks before heading off in the Camper Trailer to the Seven Valleys (Lithgow) Region.

A late afternoon walk from the Glow Worm Glen track and out to Riverview and Mark Morton Lookout 

Bundanoon Creek far below

Lookout views up and down the valley.

Late afternoon sun on the cliffs opposite

Not many birds around and the scrub is thick. The Lyre Birds were too quick but very vociferous in the scrub.

Satin Bowerbird

Brown Gerygone

5.6klm return walk for the afternoon.

The next day a quick walk along the Wingecarribee River at Burradoo after dropping Chris off for an appointment.

A very windy and cold day.

Grey Fantail

Durras Lake Walk

A short walk along Durras Lake.

Thought it would be wet so I wore my gumboots which was a good plan.

6.7klm on a grey overcast morning

The track looked like the creek at times.

Not lots of birds around but enough to keep me busy.

New Holland Honeyeater

Striated Heron

Black Swans

Brown Gerygone

Rainbow Lorikeets

King Parrot

And the first snake of the season

Nice
