Winter sun

Sydney Harbour

Well as you can see there's not been much happening at all recently. Work is particularly hectic at the moment and so I've been needing the weekends to rest up and recover. At least we're currently enjoying a load of sunshine even though it's still a bit cold. For Sydney!

There doesn't seem to be too much on in the way of twitching in winter and so I've not been out chasing the birds for a while. The majority of the whales appear to have migrated past Sydney by now as well and so there's not much action to be had there either. Instead we've been down to the harbour for a couple of picnics and of course the snorkelling is still good at any time of year. The water hasn't been super clear and so sadly I haven't been able to get any good pictures for you but I'll keep on trying...
