Even more fish....

A cute little Smooth Toadfish

A bit of a mixed weekend this week. Much disappointment as both Scotland and the All Blacks crashed out of the world cup and also much annoyance as a Chinese research group published a wee chunk of work that I was about to write up. Oh well, these things happen and at least the snorkeling was quite pleasant. On Saturday it was the usual Gordon's Bay trip followed by the now customary brunch in Coogee.

A very friendly Blue Groper

The sharks are still around but should be moving out of the bays any time now. The summer migrant birds have all turned up over the last week or so and so I guess the fish will start doing the same.

The Port Jackson Sharks are still here but for how much longer?

A few rarities were reported on the bird front this week (perhaps brought in by the annual plague of Bogon Moths who are with us just now) so this weekend I might head west to see what I can see.
