Aug/Sept/Oct 2008:

The local jabiru (black neck stork) parents have been teaching their baby to feed so we have seen them regularly out on the tidal banks.

Lots of birds of prey, and now seeing a good range of migratory birds if the tide is low when we cruise.

June/July 2008:

We recently sighted a flock of spoonbills feeding just north of Donnybrook plus heaps of Osprey, White Bellied Sea Eagles, Whistlers, and Brahminy Kites flying around.  A couple of these were ripping their fresh caught fish apart and feeding on the exposed sand banks as we cruised past.

The Jabiru/Black Necked stork pair are also nesting up at Lime Pocket with 1 adult always on the nest with the other out feeding.  Their chicks have hatched and we have watched them being fed.  Wow!

We also have spotted a pair of Brolgas recently which was a real treat.  They were not overly concerned with us and wandered the exposed banks as we cruised past.  Their beautiful red heads were clearly visible.
