Osprey

At long last a fine and sunny day after having well above 6" of rain over the Easter weekend, the river is slowly dropping.
Had a chance to go down to the Sunshine Coast on Saturday where we saw this pair of Osprey gliding overhead.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

As we walked along the beach we could see the damage that was done during Cyclone Hamish. This was one of the many beaches to be affected by the recent oil spill from the Pacific Adventurer, a big job to clean it all up in time for Easter.

Just imagine trying to clean oil from among the exposed rocks.

A look into one of the many little rock pools.
