This visit was very quiet in regard to the birds I photographed. I only saw a single Peregrine Falcon fly along the cliffs at high speed – and that was all. I also saw an Osprey, with fish fly past, and that was about it.
I did spend a bit of time photographing the World War II structures – and I will post separate entry to the blog about this interesting aspect of the history of the Headland.
Here is a good view of the recent cliff collapse, viewed from part way along Magic Point. The landslide occurred sometime in the first half of September 2022.
This White-faced Heron cruised past at high speed –
And here is the Osprey.
While waiting in a shady cave, I noticed these cut steps and rope on the cliffs north of Dead Mans Gulch. I imagine it is part of an old fisherman’s pass.
I also inspected some open rocky areas looking for an Aboriginal engravings or sharpening grooves. But the rock seems far too pock marked to be suitable.
I did come across this survey mark. One of many on the Headland. I wonder if they date back to World War II or the more recent Ocean Outfall Sewer? Both would have required accurate surveying.
And here is the Peregrine Falcon –
I walked along the cliffs to see if I could spot it – but had no luck.
