    Thanks Ken

    This was the last picture I took when in the care of Ken and Judy - a Buff-banded Rail as we were leaving the beach. We were now headed inland for the next stage of my adventure.

    Even lying down these Australian Pelicans look absolutely huge. Even the scientific name seems to reflect that (conspicuous? Not sure of the root).) Amazing birds I think.

    Further along the beach we came across a group of Great Crested Terns, my first sighting of these large terns. I quite over-looked the fact that there was a Gull-billed tern in amongst them until I downloaded the pictures!! I really didn't think terns could be so big LOL SF

    A wee beauty

    Ken went a bit quiet and furtive, wandering around without speaking to me for a few minutes. I'd no idea what he was up to until he suddenly indicated that I should join him. All then became clear.... he'd found what he was hoping for! Looking down from the top of a dune was a delightful...

    Once seen never forgotten LOL! One of those birds that are so easy to identify amongst all the worlds different heron species. This White-faced Heron was contemplating life at fresh water pool down on the beach at Buckley's Hole.

    Battle of the skies

    While watching the bee-eater, suddenly it all kicked off in the air. When a Whistling Kite flew over with a Torresian Crow in hot pursuit chasing him away from the area. One of those moments. Sorry I'm so behind in Gallery comments, I find it can take ages to recover from a hospital stay...

    A dead tree in a fenced off area beside the path to the beach sat a very pretty Rainbow Bee-eater. This was my very first bee-eater species, as I've still not even seen the European one yet. Aren't they pretty, and quite well-named too.

    Little White Jobs for a change

    We left the hide and made our way down to the beach. We stopped to watch a flock of Little Corellas fly in and swarm around the top of a large tree. I don't know what the attraction was.
