Myuna Bay - Part Two

After crossing over the little bridge, (which I forgot to take a photo of because I was thinking, and looking for birds), the cicadas here were full-on loud. 

 

Glimpses of something shining - cicadas, were everywhere. 

 

Crested Tern

 

 Would've liked to have gotten a photo of them in flight over the channel, but they're so swift, and hard to pick up in the viewfinder; I tried.

 

Pelican - don't you sometimes wonder quite what they're thinking with these passing glances?

 

 

 

Casuarina seeds pods, and as they mature those little pineapple-like bumps will open up to expel a seed

 

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo feeding on a Banksia cone.  Similarly, there will be seeds inside of these. 

 

Silver Gull.  Took these shots while having the cuppa break, and time slipped by very quickly.

 

 

 

 

 



...it's short - just to give you a feel for the sounds by the water; I hadn't really done the video with any intent to put it here, but I will.  You will hear the cicadas loud and clear, especially as I stopped on that track a little further along from here.
