Our bookclub is fond of gathering at Byron @ Byron for drinks and nibbles to end a week and ocassionally partake of brunch or dinner. This link will show you where it is on Google Maps. The rear verandah of the main building overlooks the wetland forest among which sits the various accommodation pods and various boardwalks wind their way to the beach and Tallow Creek. This particular gathering happened very late November, and the decision to take my camera and go for a wander along part of the boardwalk (see picture below) was one of those times you feel very glad to have made the decision 😀.
This short post offers a few gems showing the variety that can be on show at this location and also the way you need to be alert to more than what you "see" and pay attention to what you might hear or notice as being a little different from what you "expect" ... these birds are there, and when we see them, they are a JOY to behold in their natural palette!

The "sapphire" gem for the day was this azure kingfisher on the left bank across the drain. After a few photos it took flight back towards the complex and the third photo below was after back tracking to where it perched upstream. A real treat that reinforced earlier sightings in other locations. Nature in all her glory!
