Hike to Flint and Steel Beach (Kuring Gai National Park)

Inspired by Andreas and Ingrid's visit, I decided to do this hike myself.  And I'm really glad I did.  The beach is secluded and tranquil with beautiful colours in the rocks, especially at dusk.  Well worth the somewhat steep climb back out again.

Feathered friends

I took my 400 mm lens with me as an afterthought and am glad I did as some of the local birds put on a good show.

Up close and personal at Bobbin Head

I loved taking these bird portraits of the birds I came across. Such beautiful expressions. Wonderful and sacred beings.

Back to Bobbin Head

I went back to Bobbin Head (third time in a month!) with Charles to show him the sights and do some photography. It really is the most agreeable spot and particuarly great for taking close up photos of wild birds (as they are unusually tame). The kookaburra and sulphur crested cockatoos put on a great display for us.
