Forgot in the previous post to include this bird.
Update. The name of the bird is a Pacific Gull. Thank you [ David ]
View from the look out at Friendly Beaches. Also the walkway to it and we did watch for snakes.
It's called a Banksia.

Siempre vigilantes las gaviotas. Muy bellas fotos.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Thank you.
DeleteThanks for the amazing sky in the Header, and the beautiful three-colored little bird.
ReplyDeleteThank you Duta. The header photo was taken down the Tamar River towards evening one fine day not very long ago.
Deleteoh dear.... snakes? I wouldn't venture walking there...
ReplyDeleteWhere ever we walk in the bush in late Spring, Summer or early Autumn we have to look for snakes here as they are all poisonous, they do no harm if you see one just don't move or get in it's way.
DeleteThat header looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie.
DeleteBeautiful header and a lovely bird. No to snakes though. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. We don't often see a snake Bill.
DeleteLove your new header - and each and every photograph in this post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you EC.
DeleteBeautiful photos, what a view, I like
ReplyDeleteIt is a good view Jo-Anne, was so good to stand there and just look both ways as well as straight ahead.
DeleteSiempre preciosas tus fotografías Margaret. Que tengas una feliz semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa.
DeleteThe colour in the sky is so good. The beach is scenic and revealing serenity.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful beach, Tasmania has so many lovely beaches.
DeleteThe bird looks like a gull of some kind. It looks surprisingly dry but the soil would be very sandy.
ReplyDeleteWell I didn't know what kind of gull it was but David said it's a Pacific Gull Andrew. It was a bit dry as it was summer time when I took the photos.
Delete"Joe Blakes" eh?
ReplyDeleteLooks like great terrain for them.
I think a solid walking stick would be a good idea - the whacking variety.
Plenty of banksia around my neck of the wood - have a good one growing beside
my front porch.
Photo 3 - that needle like plant - ouch ! They are here also and they do hurt
if you brush against them.
Great report and photos which is your forte.
Cheers
Colin
Thanks Colin.
DeleteThose plants are a bit spikey, used to know their name but can't remember now.
Banksias seem to grow well in many areas in Australia.
Snakes, well we take them as they come, surprisingly we don't see that many.
I hope you are not down this morning in the DERWENT - Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
DeleteColin
That impressive, powerful bird is a Pacific Gull. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you David, I knew I should know the Pacific Gull's name as you have told be before some time ago but I forgot...so thank you.
DeleteI enjoyed seeing your gorgeous photos, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteLove your header.
Hugs and blessings
Thank you Veronica.
DeleteWhat a beautiful header photo.
ReplyDeleteThe gull resembles a Pacific Gull.
Greetings Irma
Thank you Irma re header, taken the other weekend on a lovely winter's day.
DeleteYes I'm told it's a Pacific Gull, have been told before but I forgot :)
I'm always fascinated by the nature of the land and plants in your pictures. These are great! By the way, thanks for your many nice comments on mine.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Bill, you do say nice things on mine too :)
DeleteNot only is Friendly Beache an amazing beach, but so is the surrounding nature. How beautiful and interesting the Banksia flower is, I didn't know about this tree.
ReplyDeleteThe banksia tree grow anywhere really in Australia Maria.
DeleteThat gull is makes a beautiful photo. I have always been partial to gulls ever since we lived by the ocean for many years. Wonderful scenery and loved looking at the fauna.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. We don't always see the Pacific Gull at the beach, but if I do I try to capture it.
DeleteThe Banksia must look lovely when its yellow buds are fully open.
ReplyDeleteOh they do Rosemary, just a mass of yellow.
DeleteThis is a new gull for me. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Don't often see one but when I do it's captured.
DeleteLovely bird
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteA very beautiful walk.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice week.
Thank you.
DeleteI like those beaches of clean and appetizing soft sand, the seagulls although around here there are those who say they are the rats of the sea but they cheer up with their song.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
We are ever so lucky here with our sand it's nearly always silky or very fine sand. Well seagulls do eat many things, one even took a 'chip' out of my mouth when we were on holiday.
DeleteSomeone say Snake? Lol
ReplyDeleteThe water...sand...I'm drooling here!
Beautiful header!
hugs
Donna
Thank re header Donna. Beautiful beach to be on and see.
DeleteBeautiful header and beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI would be curious to meet some snake when I run in the country.
Many seagulls live on the roofs around my house.
Thank you. Well if you do see a snake when running be careful.
DeleteMe gusta la gaviota y también la cabecera. Preciosos los reflejos del agua.
ReplyDeleteBuena semana Margared.
Un abrazo.
Thank you Laura, was a lovely winter's day when I took the header photo.
DeleteSaludos desde este balcón del Mediterráneo.
ReplyDeleteY enhorabuena por mostrarnos tu tierra, sus aves y paisajes.
Thank you Ana, and you are most welcome.
DeleteBeautiful photographs, especially the second one.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
