Stilt

Such delicate birds that take flight at the slightest movement. Extra is of a gecko - about 36cm in length, l didn't like the look of him although not at all dangerous to the likes of a human.
I also enclose another of the beautiful blue waters here, the different colours are caused by sand, rock and seaweed.
Perth is lucky in that it is not being affected by the bush fires in mostly NSW, we have met a few people who have come this way to escape the dreadful smoke that goes with them. Kangaroo Island, off the coast of Adelaide which we were visit in March has been decimated, may well have to rethink this part of our break.
