Digi Dave and myself visited Oatley Park for a day of Nature photography. We wandered around the lookouts and the wetlands of Lime Kiln Bay, and followed the tracks photographing birds, flowers and other interesting things.
Early during our visit, we bumped in another photographer – also named David. He was generous with his local knowledge, pointing out some nearby Tawny Frogmouths and also telling us where to look for more.
While we were talking to him, a Collared Sparrowhawk passed overhead.
On the track on the western side of Lime Kiln Bay, we spotted a large number of Caledenia Orchids.
Here are some more photos from our visit –
Down at the bridge, a Striated Heron was hunting –
And more Tawny Frogmouths –
At the top picnic area – we could hear the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos kicking up a fuss. No raptors could be seen overhead. I went over to see them and found they had disturbed a possum from it sleeping hollow and it was now in the tree above them.
