Long time since I've posted here guys, but on Sunday we went up to Shoal Bay and its surrounds for a couple of days and I got some first sightings in the birdlife! The new species I saw were the Australasian Gannet (which I heard someone call a gull), the yellow faced honeyeater (once again the size tricked me, they're alot smaller then they appear in the field guide) and my first Osprey. Naturally only having a compact camera, getting a good shot on the ocean or in the scrub is difficult, I managed to get these snaps of a darter on the way back in from a whale watching cruise.
