Breakfast at Flat Rock, Ballina
A huge swell assaulted the Ballina, NSW coast yesterday together with a cold southerly wind, the first as winter comes closer. The resident bird population was lying low but a few individuals found their breakfast close to the rocks.
Crested Terns and Pied Cormorants on Flat Rock shelter from wind and the large surf nearby.
A Silver Gull feeds on fresh crab.
Surfing the wild waves has rewarded this Pied Cormorant with a hearty breakfast.
A not so fresh fish provides a large feed for this Silver Gull.
