After the bird survey at Tempe, I caught a train to Wynyard and then a B-line Bus to Dee Why and walked out to Dee Why Lagoon and then Long Reef. I had lunch on the to pot the headland while waiting for the low tide, then visited the rock platform.
There were quite a few migratory birds around as well as the resident Terns. I was also hoping for an Osprey to be around, or a Nankeen Kestrel, but had to be content with a distant Sea Eagle. Anyway, here are some photos –
Red-necked Stints
Ruddy Turnstones
Grey-tailed Tattlers
Crested Terns
Here is a sequence of one flying. Rather strange!
And some normal flying –
Sooty Oystercatchers
Pied Cormorant
Little Pied Cormorant
White-bellied Sea Eagle
This was a nice place to spend the afternoon.
