Hi all

Had brief closeup views of a Beautiful Firetail gathering and carrying
nest material just a couple of hundred metres off the Bundeena Rd on the
Big Marley trail in Royal NP on Sunday morning 30 Nov at about 0915. The
bird gathered long fine grass from the side of the track then flew off
over into dense high casuarina heath.
Many good views of confiding Tawny-crowned Honeyeaters along the
clifftops at Marley - some birds sitting on the exposed rocks
pipit-style (plenty of pipits present too). There were several hundred
shearwaters just offshore flying south in very calm conditions - those I
could identify were mostly Short-tailed with a number of Wedge-tails in
the mix. A White-bellied Sea Eagle and one of a party of Southern
Emu-wrens also seen.
