Sometimes I am lucky enough to take pictures with more than one species of bird in the frame. The gum tree provides the ideal roosting site with so many dead branches. The smaller species of sparrowhawk pose no danger to the pigeons and large doves, but once the dove became aware of what was sitting next to it, it took the gap!
Meanwhile, down at the rocks, the swift terns are still breeding and there was much activity! Four oystercatchers (one a juvenile) pecked unconcernedly along the shore, while a sacred ibis, little egret and a pair of cormorants caught fish and other delicacies nearby.
There's never a dull moment in a birdwatcher's life!
