This morning I got up at 6.00am to go bird watching.
At this point, members of my family are gasping and in various states of shock. Is this really my mother / daughter / sister / auntie, bird watching? She would never have the patience for that! It just goes to show how relaxed I am feeling and how intent on enjoying every aspect of this holiday.
Nick, the Ranger and I wandered through the wetlands behind the hotel and then down on the beach with our binoculars, on the lookout for birdlife. We saw some interesting species (apologies to any real bird fanciers reading this, I don’t quite recall which particular species). We also saw Dingo footprints on the beach – fresh footprints. As it happened, I was the only holiday maker keen enough to get up at that hour to go bird watching. I enjoyed myself and the grounds of the resort where we wandered are just “out of this world”.
Having had a mostly lazy morning, I decided to join the 3.00pm ranger guided “Mangrove Walk”. This was another beautiful and enjoyable walk, which involved us covering ourselves with Mangrove mud and walking the length of the beach until it dried off. My skin will never be the same again 🙂
