It had been a while since I had visited Long Reef, so it was nice to return and then find the local Ospreys were still around in numbers.
When I arrived, I observed four Ospreys. Two perched in trees a fair way off, and two on the rock platform. I made my way towards the closest –
It then took off and started hunting for fish.
No fish.
Another dive –
Again, no fish.
Some more dives.
It pulled out of these dives.
Another Osprey flew past with a fish.
A bit of a squabble –
Two Ospreys were perched on the north side.
Three Ospreys –
I spotted this one perched on the rock platform.
A second Osprey, with fish, flew in and landed nearby.
Sooty Oystercatcher
Red-necked Stints
Another Osprey flew past with a fish –
Grey-tailed Tattler
One of the Ospreys I had seen earlier flew over to a rock pool –
Another Osprey was diving –
It pulled out before hitting the water.
Three Opsreys –
Four Opsreys –
And, to finish, a pair of Nankeen Kestrels started hunting.
It has caught a skink.
And one more Osprey –
