On getting there I was surprised to see the flock of Royal Spoonbills hanging out in the caravan park. A couple more flew in after this, so I think the total count is now up to 16. They really should be thinking about nesting sometime soon.

Birds around the wharf
I rode my bike down to the wharf, mainly to turn my legs over after the drive yesterday.

On the other hand, perhaps they are - or should be - more focused on getting their plumes under control!
A few vehicles by the wharf seemed to be getting attention from Silver Gulls.
No sign of Alfred Hitchcock.
There was a recent post about some cygnets at Bastion Point. I was a bit worried this might have been the family from the vicinity of the Lakeside Lagoon. However I'm pleaded to say they are both doing OK.
