Shag bird nesting in Chelsea Park.

Wildlife in Little Shoal Bay

On my way to Kendalls Bay on a overcast day , looking up the texture of trees leading up to the sky.

Silvereye flew through the balcony into the house and stared through the window. At my friends house on Balmain Rd.

Chelsea Lake – safe have for a myriad of birds, both large and small. Nature next to industry.

Two birds, 3 legs.

I love going down to the Chelsea Sugar carpark and checking on the shags on their nests and then watching them feed and nuture their young.

This was taken at sunset on Hinemoa Street. The Tui had been feeding on the blossums and then taken to the bare trees to serene the sun going down.

Sneak peak of Kendall’s bay through the trees.

Watching these fledgling herons reminded me of my childhood with two older brothers where sibling rivalry was very strong. I washed these young herons at Le Roys bush, for a while observing how they playfully interacted with each other.
