This was another nice visit to Malabar Headland, with Sue, Valerie and later, Alana.
On the walk out from Maroubra Beach, we didn’t see too many birds and no whales or dolphins.
When we arrived at near Boora Point, I spotted a distant bird. I thought it may be a Peregrine Falcon flying towards us, but as it got closer, it turned out to be a White Faced Heron. I had my camera ready.
It then suddenly deviated from its flight path.

It flew past the Heron at high speed.
A bit later, a Peregrine falcon zoomed past us.
