I have some spare heat over here - I email you some degrees.
Cheers, Klaus; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Ces Adorio said...: Why should they be afraid if they can swim? Can they? I hope so. Why are they called Sooty? That's what I'll call anything black from now on, like "That is a pretty sooty dinner dress."; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Ces Adorio said...: BTW, your King Jack's Appreciation Society Member roll call is wrong. I certainly visited so many time within the past 24 hours and it says I last visited 2 days ago. Hmph!; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Debra Kay said...: ces, being able to swim isn't all that helpful if you are dashed up against the rocks.

Oliver says "oooooooooooooh, Oliver is a FARTY BIRD"....he's so clever.; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Anonymous said...: Hhehee, braver than I that close to the waves, Klaus! The sun hadn’t risen yet but now the sky is blue and I can pretend it’s warmer!

The Sooty Oystercatchers are shorebirds and waders Ces, but also waterbirds which means they should be able to swim. I bet they would do better if swept away than some of our local fishermen! HAHHAA “King Jack's Appreciation Society Member List” isn’t a roll call! It shows how long ago you last posted on your blog so Jack can quickly fly over to BWARK!

Debra Kay is right! Imagine the feathers flying all over the place! Oh… they can fly!!! Oh no, not another farting Parrot! I hope Oliver does what Jack does and farts from his beak and not the other end… ;); Tuesday, June 24, 2008
G3T Films said...: Are those orange things in front of them like those orange things the lifesavers carry around on that BayWatch program? Now if only they would slow motion run for us.; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Anonymous said...: HAHA! That's how the Sootys do it G3TFilms! To prevent drowning, use personal floatation devices!! Hhehheee; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...: They're looking for tiny people or molecules.; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Anonymous said...: Shells, tiny people or molecules, they have still chosen to be dare devils fossicking on the edge, BoiledEggInADeckchair! Have you fossicked for molecules amongst flotsam before?; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...: I don't know what the foss is all about.

I was talking about scientists anyway.; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Anonymous said...: The scientists aren't here BoiledEggInADeckchair. You're on the wrong blog egghead!; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Ces Adorio said...: Oh I like that watch list. I would like to know when some of my favorite bloggers post so I can brush over to their blogs. Okay since Jack can fly and I can't I cant only brush. Am I being corny?; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Anonymous said...: Jack LOVES corn Ces! Heehhee :); Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Melissa said...: I love it! They're all, "hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, lookin' for grub ..." and I'm screaming on the shore, "LOOK OUT!!"; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
laughingwolf said...: too tiny to tempt saltwater crocs, those ;) lol

'sides, crocks don't frequent such places...; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Debra Kay said...: Yes yes-beak farts. It's the only area that I can come close to his skill (beak farts from me too).

Today he's quiet-I stuffed a bog roll extra tight with paper wads and peanuts and he's on a solitary quest to liberate the peanuts.; Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Ces Adorio said...: They're birds, they are wading and swimming birds. They don't think like people. They are a lot smarter with water and shorelines. Otherwise, they would have gone extinct. Only people go to slippery rocks and scream Ooh - aah, argh - ouch!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Kathie Brown said...: That shot with the breaking waves is awesome!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Baino said...: Way of topic but if Jack sees a female eclectus flapping about, she's missing from Kellyville! There are posters on all the telegraph poles!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Anonymous said...: Hhahhaaa, I'm screaming with you Melissa!

Hmmmm two 52cm birds should make a nice couple of entrees for a salt crocodile LaughingWolf, but you're right about them not liking surfing - or being this far down the coast :) Apart from one found years ago...!

Hhehee, my beak farts are no match for Jacks! Good luck to Oliver liberating the peanuts hehee :)

OOOH - AAH, ARGH - OUCH Ces! Can we discuss this someplace else?

Thanks Kathiesbirds! Nice to see you again :) Ooops ... there she goes in the waves :O

I'll join you from this side of Sydney having a sore neck Baino! An Eclectus should be easier to spot because of its size, is it red (female) or green (male)... oh dear!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
laughingwolf said...: cool, birds should be safe, then ;); Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Anonymous said...: Safe from saltwater crocs. We have LOTS of sharks ;); Wednesday, June 25, 2008
tsduff said...: Those oystercatchers are the NOISIEST BIRDs! I saw my first on ever in Iceland, and then ha ha, when I came back to my home country I heard them first, then saw them flying right over the California northern coast! What a bunch of loonies - nice shots you have!!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Anonymous said...: Kervee-kervee-kervee, they do sound like a bunch of loonies TsDuff :) Thanks!; Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Lavinia said...: Gorgeous, vivid colour and composition....Really enjoyed these shots.; Thursday, June 26, 2008
