Jodie and I have been out on Schouten Beach, or around the corner at Waterloo Point with a camera a fair bit recently. We both have a keen interest in photography, and in the bird life that Tasmania has to offer. I was very keen to get some photos of the dive-bombing Australasian Gannet feeding, but alas, they have disappeared.
According to Dave Watts 'Field Guide to Tasmanian Birds'... we think the first and last [top and bottom of these photos] are the Great-Winged Petrel [it's a surprisingly large bird when it passes overhead].
The one below, we think is a common Silver Gull... but we do have a variety of gulls around here.
We also enjoy watching the Masked Lapwing plod around our garden and they still surprise us when they call at night.

Nice pics Cameron & Jodie. Would be great to incorporate some of these into the Website - ie possibly a link to a page featuring 'sights around our area' type of thing. Incidentally, the latest Australian Photography mag has an article about photography around NE tassie. Worth a look. Cheers. Rob
