Jabiru

Was lucky enough to come across this Jabiru on Moreton Island while waiting for the barge to take us back over to Stradbroke Island.

Caspian Tern

Came across this flock of Caspian Terns while waiting for the ferry on Stradbroke Island. There was also a large flock of Pied Oystercatchers with them. As we got closer to the flock, Eastern Curlew and Bar-tailed Godwit flew off. We thought that maybe they have not long arrived back as they were not at this site two days before when we checked it out.
