There was a rock platform in the distance and after some deliberation we decided that it was worth a look especially after driving for so long to get there.
Lucky the water was not too deep.
The bird in question.

Tattler hunting
After Iain and Paul laid down the gauntlet by spotting the wandering tattler long reef, Allan and I thought we were in with a good chance to see it as well. After all Iain and Paul only have half a functioning eye between them. We didn't time things very well and it took us two hours to drive from marrickville to dee why and when we got there the tide was most of the way in and the bird was nowhere to be seen. Lucky there were some other critters to look at with a few Glaucus atlanticus about keeping the local blue bottle population down.

Excellent photos! The Glaucus atlanticus is fantastic, you do not have a polarizing filter on do you? Somehow you have avoided reflections from the water surface - maybe because it is shot straight down? Or because weather was pretty rubbish :-)
Cheers Allan
I'm pretty sure it was because the weather was rubbish. Or maybe it was the L glass.
Glaucus atlanticus...wow...amazing
