Another interesting day spent on Malabar Headland. I met Sue at Maroubra Beach and we walked out onto the headland, and we later met up with Alana.
Our main aim was to observe Peregrine Falcons, which we did, but not as often as we would have liked. But we did see a magnificent series of breaching by a Humpback Whale.
Not long after we arrived near Boora Point, we saw a Peregrine Falcon fly past –
Down below, we spotted a Great Cormorant –

A fisherman below did well –

Some military boats went past –
A bit more Peregrine Falcon action –

White’s Skink
Microtis sp. Orchid
Then, near Magic Point, we observed a Humpback Whale. It put on a good show –
