After taking photos of the Wandering Tattler, as we were walking back along the beach an Eastern Reef Egret, (dark morph), flew in so it was time to stop and take more photos.
A couple of years back we were lucky enough to see the white morph Eastern Reef Egret at Mullens, Cooloola Cove.
Eastern Reef Egret (Ardea (Egretta) sacra)
Little Black Cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris)
After leaving the Reef Egret we looked out at the water and saw three Little Black Cormorant swimming close to shore among the rocks. Not a bad way to fill in time for an unplanned trip, and we did remember to go and pick up our son.
3 in a row :) wonderful pics!
