Inskip Point is certainly one of my favorite places for watching birds. I can usually find interesting 'bush' birds in the strip of bush towards the end of the peninsular and then of course there is always an assortment of birds out on the sand flats.
The most interesting bird I saw (and photographed) in the bush this time would have to be the Red-browed Firetail (Neochmia temporalis). It was late afternoon and the birds were hopping in and out of the shadow right on the side of the road.
Out on the sand flats a small group of Royal Spoonbills (Platalea regia) flew in and began hunting for food in the shallow pools of water left as the tide receded.
I was able to shoot a little video which shows how they move their bills in the water as they hunt for food.
