Pelican Point

A quick trip this afternoon to check out the waders before they headed north. I was fortunate to be able to photograph two birds of prey in the same area.

Red-capped Plover

Red-necked Stint

White-bellied Sea-eagle
Grey-tailed Tattler
Ruddy Turnstone

Nankeen Kestrel Photographed at Soldiers Point
Double-banded Plover

Other birds seen were Great cormorants, Crested Terns and Golden Pacific Plovers. I didn't bother checking nearby Soldiers Point as there were too many fishermen about.
