We are up early to do the weather reporting for the Bureau of Meteorology, this will be a 7am and 10am duty every day until we leave.

A few more maintenance tasks and then we take a trip down Kanidal Beach. Travelling west along the beach we count and record Red-capped Plovers, Charadrius ruficapillus, White-fronted Chats, Epthianura albifrons, Pied Oyster Catchers, Haematopus longirostris, Red-necked Stints Calidris ruficollis, and Australasian Pipets, Anthus novaeseelandiae . It was also great to see a pod of dolphins. The beach is easy to drive, this is not always the case, we find plenty of macro algae and seagrass washed up and invertebrates yet to be identified. Quandongs, Santalum acuminatum in this part of the country are in fruit though still green, but also still flowering.
