MARCH 2017 : BROULEE, NSW : Kayaking through wetlands off George Bass Drive.

 

We have just discovered a small wetland off George Bass Drive near the Moruya airport. A revelation - as there was birdlife we had never seen before.

 

Easy access from George Bass Drive.

 

Quiet and serene paddle, with tea trees on one side and huge gums and Banksias on the other.

 

Tannin- saturated stream with mirror perfect reflections.

 

Fascinating reflections 

 

A brief sighting of a tiny Azure Kingfisher.

We also caught sight of an Eastern Bristle-bird - too elusive for a photo - so another shot, courtesy of the Internet.

 

Reflections in the Tea trees.

 

Towards the western end of the wetlands there were dense bulrushes.

 

Suddenly above us - a White-chested Sea Eagle, being attacked by a pigeon.

A peaceful paddle on a beautiful Autumn morning.
