For something different, I suggested a day on the cliffs near Cape Baily at Kurnell, Sue and Valerie were keen, and so was Alana. And thanks to Valerie for driving us out. We had a great day.
We started from the carpark at Potter Point, and were soon walking north along the rock platforms.
Pipit
The clips along this section of the coast are magnificent.
And we passed the Cape Baily Lighthouse.
The wildflowers of the heath were amazing.
Sprengelia incarnata
We did spot some Humpback Whales.
Another Pipit –
Sprengelia incarnata
We watched a Nankeen Kestrel fly past and land on the top of the cliffs.
And a second Nankeen Kestrel was perched close to us.
This one started calling to the first.
The first Kestrel joined the second, and they mated.
The Nankeen Kestrel ducked down.
It was trying to avoid an Australian Raven.
It then took off.
It then flew around and dived at some nearby Ravens.
Later, the Ravens played their own game. We thought one had food, but it was actually some plastic rubbish.
It flew off and was chased by some of the other Ravens.
The Nankeen Kestrel (female) was happy to stay perched on the cliff nearby.
And, another passing Humpback Whale –
As we left, we spotted a distant White Bellied Sea Eagle –
And a few last photos of the patterns in the sandstone.
