We saw quite a few of these beautiful birds and their song was a frequent soundtrack to our surroundings.
So here is one, having caught it mid-itch
They were common enough, that few people stopped to watch them - but I continue to love "the ordinary birds" and likely will always try to get extraordinary pictures, of 'ordinary birds'.
The Sea Cliff Bridge is a balanced cantilever bridge located in the northern Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. The bridge links the coastal villages of Coalcliff and Clifton. Featuring two lanes of traffic, a cycleway and a walkway, the Sea Cliff Bridge boasts spectacular views and is a feature of the scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive.
The Sea Cliff Bridge replaced a section of Lawrence Hargrave Drive that was permanently closed in August 2003 due to regular rock falls.
Thanks for visiting my photostream and for your favs and comments
The cliffs on the southwestern edge of the Eyjafjöll (Island Mountains) are seen on a beautiful morning from across the marshes on the Markarfljót delta along the road to Landeyjahöfn in South Iceland. The Markarfljót is a might river that carries glacial metwater and sediments. The delta floodplain has been enlarged by jökulhlaups which are a type of flash flood of glacial meltwater triggered volcanic activity beneath one of the glaciers. The cliffs in the distance are home to numerous waterfalls.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
In the photo: Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.

The high cliffs at Greenglade, Nadgee Park Reserve, Far South Coast NSW Australia. This beach and picnic area accessible by a rough dirt track after turning off at Wonboyn. Ordinary car perhaps okay but many potholes and better in AWD, especially after rain. Good for the stomach muscles!
St. Agnes, Cornwall, UK.
Old derelict tin mines with their cliff rocks and rubble were influential in the making of this image - plus a little bit of visual licence :-)
Popped over to the coast this morning- a fair wind blowing at times. About 20% sun and 80% cloudy intervals
So named by Captain John Smith on his map of 1612; the area is now called Calvert Cliff State Park, located on the eastern flank of the Calvert Peninsula, in Lusby, Maryland, USA.
Detail of a sandstone cliff in a side canyon of Lake Powell, probably Moqui Canyon. This is a severe crop of another shot that shows the cliff. The rock in the cliff has clearly had a complicated past.
Spent several days looking for new compositions for Otter cliffs. Found this one just off the Shore Path.
This image is illuminated by a cloud layer whose underside is glowing orange just before sunrise. A two layer stack was used to maintain sharpness near and far!

The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction and is now off my bucket list
This is a photo of patterns in a rock cliff at Mavillette Beach that suggest a pareidolia shaman figure.
Another shot from my recent trip to Yosemite. This one is similar to the one I use on my Desktop background (Mac:El Capitan) except was taken at sunrise not sunset.

A view from the edge of a cliff in an old quarry. Somme place will still look good, even with a grey sky, like this one.
