The 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.

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
