Tasman Island Cruise - Birds

After we saw the Black Faced Cormorant, above, as we were leaving Port Arthur, we rarely got close to a bird on this trip. But we did see them.

Birds!

On our Boat ride on the Yellow Water, we also saw lots of birds. Surprisingly for us Yanks, the crocs don't seem to be interested in eating them. This Great Egret is sunning himself with the Wandering Whistling Duck (related to the Plumed Whistling Ducks you've seen in the blog before).

Ida Bay and Lune River

On south of Southport is a small village called Ida Bay. It's one claim to fame is the narrow gauge railway. Although we could have taken a ride, we opted not to. Rather, we just had a look about.
