Medea Cove

Attached is the birding list from our January walk.
Quite a few highlights with the occasional sighting of the Grey Goshawk, Satin Flycatchers and a Dusky Woodswallow nest with chicks.
 
Also a nice find....as the photos from Annette will show, a kayak pulled from the wetland reeds. I am sure Nick and Annette would be happy to share the sea going craft with any interested parties.
 
Best birding wishes,
