Willie wagtail

It was 43 C. degrees when this photo was taken, but this willie wagtail doesn't mind the heat. He's still merrily chasing flying insects.

Osprey Revisited

Again today the osprey was around North beach. These photos show how close he is to the the beach front houses.

Osprey of North Beach

This osprey is a frequenter of the rocky headlands around North Beach in Perth Western Australia.

A pair of osprey established a nest around Trigg Island this year. This individual is one of that group. I've seen him there several times in the last week, often on this same stump which is not far from the bike and walk path along West Coast Drive.
