I decided to visit Malabar Headland while the weather was good.
I had a reasonable day, although it was very quiet for long periods. But at least in nice weather, it was pleasant to sit to on the cliffs enjoying the scenery.
When I first walked in, I soon spotted a single Peregrine Falcon perched on the cliffs near Boora Point. The photo below is telephoto and it is hard to spot the falcon – in the middle. That is one reason it is always worth taking binoculars on these trips. Continue reading
It was time for another visit to Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside. My last visit had been in late July.
I was by myself this time, and wandered around the usual trails seeing what birds were around. I spent a fair bit of time looking for Azure Kingfishers, but on this visit I had no luck. But I did see a good range of other birds.
Here are some – Continue reading
I decided on another trip to Long Reef. More Osprey photography.
When I arrived, I walked down to the lower level from the lookout, and spotted two Osprey perched in trees on the north side. I walked along the beach towards them.
When I got close, I could see that there were actually three Ospreys perched in trees. Continue reading

After seeing a Powerful Owl family at Cheltenham a few days earlier, I thought it worth heading to Terrys Creek to see if I could spit any newly fledged Powerful Owlets there. I had no luck spotting Powerful Owls despite a lot of looking in places where I had seen them roosting before, but I did see some other nice birds.
I walked from Epping Road down to Browns Waterhole and back.
Here are some of the birds I saw – Continue reading

The first spot we visited were series of small overhangs. These featured a variety of art. Continue reading
