Langford Island, Whitsundays

 

A special little island with lots of turtles cruising around, mobs of silvereyes (zosterops lateralis) chattering and beautiful vegetation including these orchids growing on bottle trees and fallen trees. 

Along the long sandbar which spreads to the east, mobs or terns and shorebirds were roosting, including the cute little red-necked stints.

On the nearby channel marker a pair of osprey were busy building their nest - a prime spot for fishing, their favourite food.
