Since I am beginning full time work shortly, we have been
trying to make the most of our days. We
went to Clovelly Beach on the weekend for fish and chips, and also in the hope of maybe
seeing some whales pass by on their migration route to warmer waters.
There where whales out there, we could just make out the splashes of them breaching way off on the horizon near a whale watching boat, but they were too far out to see anything.
There were plenty of birds to photograph though. I know many
people find seagulls irritating, but I like them.
This little Willie Wagtail was hopping all over the rockface catching insects and drinking from the puddles. His 'eyebrows' made him look very harried and fussy.
I love how much detail in the seagulls faces my new camera captured. They really are pretty birds.
The whole time we were there I could hear a flock of Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos, but wasn’t near enough to get a photo until we drove up the headland. There were so many of them! I love the call they make.
I think my next bird painting will have to be one of these gorgeous birds! xx
