A beautifully captured closeup of this Butcherbird D! Nice work girl.
 
I can only say, D., that this beautiful bird in the bush
disproves the truth of the proverb.
Lovely.

Splendid find and shot :t: :t:
Oh, and yes, you've remembered the river neighbourhood correctly. Your favourite caf is also one of mine, except my other favourite is the only place I can buy coffee since I need to have decaf. And yes, it is ordinarily more than just a step down from the rocks to the beach to the river. I think that storm surge was at about 1 meter above ordinary high tide.
