The first image is of a pair of Masked Lapwings which have nested across the road - much to the joy of our neighbours on whose lawn they used to nest!
On Wednesday I drove around the Airstrip where there were 6 Scarlet Robins, in pairs.
There were 4 Kookaburras in this group, but only 3 fitted in the image. 2 singles were elsewhere.
On the 26th we went for a walk along the Narrows. This was a nice sight with 2 Little Black Cormorants, 1 Great Cormorant and, at the back, a Darter. They had all gone when we returned, replced by 2 Little Pied Cormorants.
The real excitement began when we spotted this seal, about half way along the Narrows. It was very active, I suspect attending to a school of Salmon.
It seemed to rise up and throw something - presumable a fish. Trying to stun it? It made a huge splash!
Then a Sea-Eagle got in the act: the ripples on the right edge are where the seal had just dived.
Then a second Eagle appeared. It looked to have browner plumage, so possibly a young bird?
Hmmm. Both of these look pretty adult in the images. They were quite active so now I am wondering if there were 3!
