The sky was blue and clear, an unusual sight this summer so we headed south in search of birds. Start point was Shoalhaven Heads, from here we walked out across the beach and dunes to Comerong Island at the mouth of the Shoalhaven River.  The edge of the water had many different birds from tiny little Red-capped Plovers scurrying around the edge with their fluffy young to majestic Black Swans feeding among the reeds.

Often the birds would be spooked by a boat or even a gyrocopter and they would all take flight in a big group. We also explored the inner part of the island with very hungry mosquito’s and lots of different forest birds mingling among the trees.

A great day out.
