More random stuff

 These are some photos without a particular theme beyond just interesting stuff I have seen around Mallacoota in the past couple of days (ie 18 and 19 September 2021).

The first photo was taken from the top of Angophora Dr and show the extent of the sandbars on the Goodwin Sands.  I suspect that has been partly a result of Northerly winds pushing water out of the mouth (and/or a low tide).  Unfortunately someone has parked a barge so that the official depth gauge at the Wharf cannot be read.

Looking from Cap'n Steve's pPoint there is lots of sand towards Harrison's Channel ...
.. and the Mouth looks rather narrow, twisted and shallow 
A little later I went to Bastion Point to check for seabirds.  There were none, but some seal body parts were visible.
On getting right out to the Point it seemed that there were 2 seals thermoregulating showing one front flipper each with one also waving a hind.

On the 19th I went for a drive along the airstrip fence where the high point was a Nankeen Kestrel with some prey.  I was about 250 m away so the photo doesn't show much detail.
