Bruny Island Bird Festival

Some pics I took at the Bruny Island Bird Festival Oct 2010 (the first ever). It was AWESOME: highly, highly recommended. It's happening again - Oct 25-28 2012 (Note - not this year!).

Unappreciated Wedgie:

BLURRY Forty-spot (damn big branches in the way!):

Now the Fairy Prions. I hadn't seen these before and thought they were amazing to watch, 'walking' over the water. Weather got a bit gloomy by then, so pretty dark photos:

Nice shots. That Eagle looks like a White-bellied Sea Eagle due to the white tail but not sure. Great sighting regarding the Forty Spot and nice Prion pics. I have never seen a pelagic bird before.

Cheers, Owen.

Sounds like a great place to be. What happens there?

Very nice. Bruny is a special place. We have visited several times but unfortunately not for the festival.
