Spotted on Straddie

Seas teeming with fish and turtles, dolphin pods and whales coming up for air. They were more difficult to capture on camera other than as blips in the ocean but your eyes, thankfully, are never confined to one species or one area. So white bellied sea eagles floated by, as did some surfers on a deep green sea.

Pelicans shared fish with the sea gulls and a whole valley sang with the melodies of fig birds and wag tails. The cormorants and the curlews chose their shore lines and rocks to sunbathe and the silver gulls with their intense red legs and beaks bounded across the beach while the kookaburras were having a disagreement on the line. 

The surprise, because there always is one, is seeing a young woman collect beach worms of over a metre in length from the shore line. A question of what lurks beneath which thankfully we don't often have to see, an art in itself, for which apparently she can charge $5 a worm.

Entrepreneurship al fresco on a glorious winter's day.
