Helpful Posts: I went for a stroll along Red Beach today; a week of king tides had left the sand very soft so it was hard going.
A stiff north-easterly promised to brew up a storm, but the humidity stayed low and the clouds evaporated.
The blue blobs on the sand are beached Blue-blubber jellyfish.
The little balls of sand are made by crabs excavating burrows. A spoonbill marched up and down feeding on the crabs.
The temperature got up to 30C, I'd drunk all my water so I took a shortcut back to the car through the mangrove swamp (Bone dry for the last year). There were a few birds around.
A Noisy Miner chick demanding to be fed.
Their cousin, an Indian Myna, surveyed its domain.
In the shadows a mother Fairy Wren was shopping for groceries.
her chick was forever hungry.
Dad wasn't much help - he was a bit of a poser.
A Satin Flycatcher and Silvereye looked on.
A Blue Tiger resting from the mating game.

Not a bad day's work, Richard. Interesting looking jellies you have down there. Some excellent bird shots pulled out of the brush. Well done.

Re: A stroll along the beach.
Thanks Nandakumar, it does indeed need a little rotation. I use the camera spirit level but have a bad habit of rotating the camera when I press the shutter.

Re: A stroll along the beach.
Nice set, Richard. For some reason the stinger reminds me of a ghost.
