Broome Day4 final morning (mainly birds with a tree, crab and fish thrown in)

[shakyHands]

On the final morning before flying home I went past a few of the nearby spots.

First a trip back to Entrance Point. There were a few birds around. A small flock of Ruddy Turnstones, a Darter, and a Whimbrel.

The Ruddy Turnstones -






An Australasian Darter (with some Turnstones in the background) -



A Eurasian Whimbrel -



Then it was over to the nearby Simpsons Beach.

A Boab Tree that is hanging precariously onto a ridge -



An Australian White Ibis showing the red skin under its wings



A Hermit Crab -



Then back to Streeters Jetty.

The Red-headed Myzomela were still using the water pipe -




A Banded Toadfish - this took a bit of post processing. A lot of dehaze removed most of the grey scum on the water surface and general murk in the water and a bit of increased Yellow Luminance helped with the yellow tail and fins -



A Magpie Lark -



And that's the end of another trip to Broome. My flight hope was delayed by a couple of hours so I sat in the Broome airport and was lucky enough to see some cricket on the TV where Nathan Lyon destroyed the England middle order in the third test in Adelaide - happy days!
