Valerie had been on the Greenway Bird Survey, and after it we had planned to meet Sue and head out to Kurnell for a walk along the coastal cliffs in Kamay – Botany Bay National Park.
Valerie drove us to the car park at Cape Solander, and then we set off south along the track towards Cape Baily. At first, it was a bit cloudy.
These cliffs are great for coastal landscapes.
Near Cape Baily, we looked for the resident Peregrine Falcons, and spotted one perched on the cliffs –
And walking back we spotted a Swamp Harrier hunting over the heath –
Here is one of the zawns, named – Blue Hole Hap –
On the way back home, we stopped off at Taren Point – where we visited the Woolooware Shared Pathway and The Taren Point Shorebird Reserve.
Grey Tattlers –
Pied Oystercatchers –
The tide was going down and exposing the oyster beds. Some of the Grey-tailed Tattlers flew over to start eating –
And there were some Silver Gulls with young chicks on the artificial island –
At the Taren Point Shorebird Reserve, we were surprised to see some Little Corellas out on the sand –
And a single Pied Oystercatcher was feeding –
