The magnificent ephemereal blue dragons that appear on the beach occasionally after a storm or strong winds are a nudibranch with the latin name of Glaucus atlanticus. They float around on the surface munching their way through other blue layer creatures such as the by-the-wind-sailor, the violet snail and the man-o'war jellyfish with it's long tentacles. It actually absorbs the stinging cells and uses them to ward of other creatures who want to dine on them. The stinging cells are stored in their appendages and will sting anyone who touches these delicate-looking creature #sapphirecoastnsw #wildlifephotography #sapphirecoasttourism #glaucusatlanticus #merimbulansw #wildlifesapphirecoast #marinelifensw

Some of the fabulous clients I have had in the past few years. They always love meeting our surf life savers. One family from Finland were avid watchers of Bondi Rescue in Finland. When I offered to introduce them to our local life savers they were overwhelmed! Had their photo taken and the Pambula Beach crew were more than happy with meeting some fans from Finland. #naturetouraustralia #shoreexcursionaustralia #sapphirecoast #pambulabeach #visitnsw #cruiseeden #visitnsw

I had to wait in the coffee queue behind these two kangas. After reading the community news board the two locals ordered cappuccino with infused grass flavours. #pambulabeach #aquapambulabeach #sapphirecoastnsw

This varied sitella was voraciously combing up and down on the tree for insects as I ate my lunch nearby. The bird was moving, at a guess, at 100km/h through the foliage so a high ISO of 1000 and an exposure time of 1/640 was required to capture this insatiable bird. Photographed in Mallacoota. #mallacoota #mallacootbirds #eastgippsland #australianwildlife

Can you spot why the lyrebird jumped onto the log so fast?
Lyrebirds are found on the south-east coast of Australia and this one was spotted in Mallacoota doing its thing. They eat worms, insects and sometimes seeds. Fabulous to see that the lyrebird population has bounced back after the fires in 2019/2020. ##mallacootabirds #mallacoota #visitmallacoota #visitvictoria #eastgippsland #samnerriephotogaphy

Met this adorable couple of (juvenile?) silvereyes at Mallacoota yesterday. They were too busy grooming each other to notice me clicking away. #mallacoota #mallacootawildlife #mallacootabirds #samnerriephotography

More of the burgundy mudstone at Bar Beach in Merimbula... Bar Beach is a favourite hangout for many visitors and locals. It is also a hangout for the tropical juvenile fish that get swept down by the Eastern Australian Current as plankton. They grow to a teenage (or sometimes adult) size and then die when the water temperature drops to less than ~16 degrees Celsius. #visitmerimbula #visitsapphirecoast #merimbula #barbeachmerimbula #sapphirecoastnsw

Mitchies Jetty is always an adorable place whatever time of day you are there. Some would say it encompasses the soul of Merimbula. Great spot for snorkelling as well as for swimming or for chilling out. #mitchies #sapphirecoast #sapphirecoastnsw #merimbula #merimbulalake #visitmerimbula

Far North Queensland is the place to go to see lizards, snakes, birds and many other animals. This is the Boyd's Forest Dragon Lizard seen at the strangler fig near Yungaburra.Quite a charming creature. This one was photographed over 100 times by a large group of delighted tourists and it smiled all the way through the process. Not sure what it was really thinking. #visitqueensland #explorefnq #wildlifequeensland #fnqwildlife #farnorthqueensĺand #farnorthqueenslandtourism #yungaburra

Found this cutie, an Olive-backed Sunbird, in the car park of the Cattana Wetlands. Seems many tropical birds nest in October. Then the rains come in November and December. Chicks grow up in the hottest and wettest season. They breed them tough up there. #cairns #cairnswildlife #cairnsbirds #visitcairns #visitqueensland #visitfarnorthqueensland

Far north Queensland is well known as the go-to destination for metallic starlings which nest just before the wet season. When the wet season is over they return to New Guinea. Their nests are the birding equivalent of our apartment buildings with many nesting holes in one column of an interwoven grassy structure. They are amusing to watch, always jabbering amongst themselves and undertaking many tasks to keep the nests viable. #visitcairns #visitcairnsaustralia #birdphotography #birdscairns #birdsfnq #wildlifecairns #fnqbirds #fnqwildlife

The East Gippsland Waratah is currently in full bloom at Errinundra Plateau as are many other flowers. This isn’t quite the same flower as the Sydney Waratah even though the parks sign has a photo of the Sydney Waratah when describing the Gippsland Waratah! Hmm. #bendoc #warratahs #errinundranationalpark

This royal spoonbill was trying to give this female a twig present during mating season but she wouldn’t have a bar of it and turned her back on him. #sapphirecoasttourism #sapphiretourism #escapetomerimbula #bega
