I went to Hat Head yesterday, a nice place in a national park an hour north.

That's the beach, it's not normally a big surf beach because it's kind of protected by the headland.

That's a bit of the headland, an old volcano apparently.

That's tidal Korogoro Creek, there have been big tides and the water is nice and clear.

Off on a walk around the headland, I'll have to take a closer look at that little beach one day.
I passed one person on my walk, a fisherman struggling with a heavy load of fish.

Looking North to Smoky Cape, the beach in the first pictures ark around and end there.

Looking south from the front of Hat Head, endless sandy beaches are boring, variety is required I think.

It is tricky getting the camera positioned on a rock and the timer set.

Having a good summer down there in the bottom half of the world, are ya? Must be nice. 45F here in Florida right now.

That royal hat seemed inappropriate. Pudding should wear a beach hat. And the spatula? A beach ball would be nice. The mittens or gloves should've been a bottle of suntan lotion. But the beach is so life.
Oh and the 4 jets!

If you have the original of this wonderful photograph my I suggest you crop off the top 20/25% (most, but not all, of the featureless cloud) I think it would turn wonderful into magnificent!

The white sand looks nice, where is it?
I prefer no jets though.
A nice shady tree is good, umbrellas suck.
Some waves can be good, unless there's something to see under the water.
If it's just an endless sand beach walking can get monotonous, you don't seem to get anywhere.
Crowds are bad but it doesn't hurt to have a few other people about to avoid predator paranoia.
Beaches which crocodiles frequent aren't for me, no damn tigers neither.

It's Pensacola Beach Florida. I think the Blue Angels (the jets) were part of an air show.

A nice winter walk along a couple of the town's beaches.
Actually two walks, today and yesterday. The sky was blue yesterday today it was interesting, still warm though.

Location, location, location.
Beautiful pics, MP, and I especially love the capture of the dolphin tail. Did you do it deliberately, or was it a happy accident?

It was on purpose, the dolphins were there before I went walking and still there when I got back.
My basic point and shoot camera is dying, it won't zoom properly any more.

Still, it's a lovely shot and there's kind of a thrill in spotting the tail that adds something to it.

This brush turkey was making one of those big mound nests on the ground, this is only a hundred metres from where the 4ft monitor lizard was and there are larger ones. I don't know how brush turkeys discourage lizards. Yes I know I mix metric and imperial measurements.

Thanks.
The turkey's mound has gotten quite large.
QuoteBrushturkeys are communal birds, and have communal nests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Brushturkey). A typical group consists of a dominant male, one or more younger males and several females. They build large nests on the ground made of leaves, other combustible material and earth, 1 to 1.5 metres high and up to 4 metres across. The eggs are hatched by the heat of the composting mound which is tended only by the males who regulate the temperature by adding or removing material in an effort to maintain the temperature of the mound in the 33–35°C incubation temperature range.[1] The Australian Brushturkey checks the temperature by sticking its beak into the mound. As with some reptiles, incubation temperature affects the sex ratio of chicks, which is equal at 34°C but results in more males when cooler and more females when warmer (p=0.035). It is unclear whether the parents use this to manipulate the sex of their offspring by, for instance, selecting the nesting site accordingly. Warmer incubation also results in heavier, fitter chicks (p<<0.0001), but how this is linked to gender is also unknown.[2]
The same nesting site is frequently used year after year, the old ones being added to each breeding season. The average clutch of eggs is between 16 and 24 large white eggs, which are laid September to March. Sometimes up to 50 eggs laid by several females may be found in a single mound. The eggs are placed in a circle roughly 60–80 cm down, 20–30 cm apart, always with the large end up. The newly hatched young dig themselves out of the mound and then have to look after themselves.
Brush-turkey eggs are a favourite food of goannas, snakes, dingoes and dogs and once were a staple of Aboriginal Australians. Often goannas exhibit wounds on their tails of having been pecked by Brush-turkeys who ferociously chase them away from their nests.
Some of that isn't surprising, the males cooperating and the number of eggs is. Doesn't sound like there'll be chicks being led around by a parent. It does seem a bit early to be starting and I noticed another mound being built elsewhere.

Koalas, the slack buggers. Look at these guys at the Koala Hospital, they don't look sick to me. Slackers, malingerers, that's what they are.

She said an I'M SORRY would also be required.

QuoteSooty oystercatcher
They are declared a vulnerable species in NSW.
Feeding:
Unlike their pied relatives, they prefer rocky shorelines where they hunt for molluscs, crabs and other crustaceans, marine worms, sea urchins and even starfish. Look for them using their long bills to stab at prey or to hammer open food.
