Varied offering after sweet walk

Sweet walk today near Lucinda's 5km sugar jetty, mainly to see delectable Varied Honeyeater (Lichenostomus versicolor) pair whose territory covers attractive open mangrove patch ringed by sea and sand.

The dulcet-songed birds didn't disappoint.

And an image from earlier in year.

Plus, two in-flight snapshots: Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica)

Eastern Curlew (Numenius madagascariensis)

Nearby, Dungeness boat ramp's Striated Herons (Butorides striata) out and about as usual (but not so confiding as when these shots were taken!).
