Myuna Bay - Part Two



Eastern Rosella

 Noisy Miner

 

Crested Pigeon

 less brilliant plumage, perhaps a juvenile (Eastern Rosella)

warm waters from the Eraring Power Outlet, a favourite for the fishermen along this channel.  Arrow shows location of two egrets.

 

A guy walked nearby looking along the edge and I asked if he was going to do any fishing.  He said not today, nothing much happening, this place is usually full up (with fishermen) but there's too many sharks in here now (taking the fish). 

 

"Have you seen the rays" he asked me - No, would you see them easily around the edges??  "No, over in the middle, they come up out of the water and do a belly-flop, stunning the fish, and then they go down to pick them up".

Interesting information isn't it; and wish I'd thought to ask if there is a time of day that's likely to happen.  I must go back and look for the rays sometime; would LOVE to share a snapshot of that happening.

 

Little Egret

 differing coloured eye surround, and pink legs; is maybe an Intermediate Egret, what do you think?

no binoculars; I'd come just to take photographs

heading off down the channel (reminding me of a hang-glider)

and a safe landing
