This was another visit to Malabar Headland National Park. I photographed some of the birdlife and also some of the landscape.
It was on a Sunday, a rare Sunday when the headland part of the park is open to visitors. There were plenty of visitors enjoying the beauty and Nature. On this visit, a lot of the wildflowers were starting to come out – adding a lot of colour.
The National Park is not large in size, but it does contain some majestic scenery – impressive cliffs and intricately carved sandstone formations.
I looked for and found the Peregrine Falcon that I had seen on previous visits. It was quite active this time – and I was able to get some good sequences of it taking off from various ledges.
Here is one take-off sequence –
And here is another –
And later, it took off from a higher ledge –
One of the other raptors on the headland this visit was a Swamp Harrier. It was being harassed by some ravens –
There were also the usual new Holland Honeyeaters in abundance. Many of them hunting for insects –
A few of the Superb Fairy Wren –
This had been a pleasant day out.
