A little cryptic, perhaps. Less so if you have toured some extremities in Tassie. One day we drove as far south as is possible in a normal vehicle - to Cockle Creek. While we struck some drizzle and wind when we got there, we did find a coffee cart 😁! Along the way and back we saw a range of birds among the many wonderful views across waters and bays and villages of shacks. Well worth the drive.

| A pair of pied oystercatchers |
 |
| Kelp gull walking on water? |
 |
| Pair of black swans doing what they do. |
 |
| Both for a fuller context! |
 |
| A wading white-faced heron on the hunt. |
 |
| A single sooty oystercatcher on one leg eyeing me. |
Our other big drive for a day was to Bruny Island. Here is a selection of birds we sighted along the way to, and at the lighthouse. Another exploration we enjoyed, though the island deserves much longer than a single day look around for sure.
 |
| A juvenile pacific gull |
 |
| A flock of very juvenile pacific gulls figuring it all out! |
 |
| Not to be outdone, a large flock of floating silver gulls. |
 |
| A Richard's pipit |
Finally, willingly and often posing atop the pushes astride the path to the top of the lighthouse and return were several new holland honeyeaters. Glorious in such a setting.
