BellycanThe surf might have been really rough but a bird's gotta eat. This black shag didn't seem to be at all bothered by it, and I saw it swallow at least one catch while I was there.
A bit rough for a swim? Newcastle Ocean Baths looking more like rough seas this afternoon.
I see these guys riding their red postie bikes around Newcastle a bit. Caught them sitting still this afternoon down at Nobby's Head.
Please excuse photographs from the back of a bus, but this is what the north-west corner of Lambton Road and Bridges Road, New Lambton NSW is like in Autumn: parrots. Lots of parrots.
There's a bunch of Afrocarpus trees there, and sulfur-crested cockatoos love munching on their cones. They also like ripping up the grass to get to the tasty bits below.
"Climate Respect" indeed. Nice piece of irony.

Gym this morning done. Coffee now then a swim (doing it this way round to give the sunscreen time to settle beforehand). Have lots of stuff still on my to-do list but this is important too. #ocean #coffee #MerewetherBeach #beach #NewcastleNSW #NewcastleAU
