Whale watching

Twice a year the whales migrate past Sydney and put on quite a good display. We decided to go to kurnell and have a look. There were a few hundred other punters there but the vast majority stayed within 50 m of their cars so the cliffs were pretty quiet which meant we could do a bit of bird watching as well. In the end we saw 2 or 3 humpback whales and more importantly a magnificent male southern emu wren.

Wow! Fantastic stuff - a jumping whale!! That is a good shot. I seem to miss the picture of the Emu-wren though(?) ;-)

Cheers Allan

I did get a picture of the emu wren but you can only see half the tail and even that is not in focus and I have photographic standards to maintain on this blog.
