As mentioned in earlier post -- two weeks ago I ventured up Coila Ck
again (a now-obligatory coast trip discovered by Rod a few years
ago). Though the creek is around a metre lower than past years after
the lake opened to the sea earlier in the year, it's still a great
little paddle. There's always White-bellied Sea Eagles and Azure
Kingfishers, and if you're lucky you get to see them quite
close. This year three Sea-eagles and 5 or 6 of the stunning
Kingfishers. One of the eagles was eating an eel which we got to see
from close quarters until it flew off passing no more than two metres
above my companion's head with half the eel hanging temptingly close.
Pics of each are still on the first page of my flickr
presence http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozjulian/ I just added one of
another sea-eagle perched with a very large crop bump, after an
apparently good meal.
