There are often terns, gulls, lapwings, and cormorants at the mouth of Belongil Creek. Other regulars include egrets, bee-eaters, pardalotes, Osprey and Sea-Eagles, with the occaisional sighting of a Beach Stone-curlew. Red-capped and Double-banded Plovers, Pacific Golden Plovers and other migrants turn up from time to time. Last weeks it was the Little Terns that stole the show, as well as a crab hunting Beach Stone-curlew. A group of Pacific Golden Plovers were also seen.
A regular at Belongil Creek, this very photogenic Eastern Osprey makes a low pass over the beach.
Little Terns really are little, when seen here next to two Common Terns and in the background three Crested Terns.
This Beach Stone-curlew looks to be in a bit of a muddle but is in fact a very accomplished crab hunter
