Is this a hybrid shelduck? It didn't want to wake up for better photos!
This Frogmouth was snoozing on the ground, several metres away from a dead Kookaburra (previous observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/231894438.) Meanwhile its mate is snoozing overhead in a tree.
There has been a pair hanging around with the gulls near a small stream entering the beach. They are always very skittish
A flock of 11 today. They are relatively relaxed when you walk past them
