Australian Plant Society on the East Coast

The APS enjoyed a very pleasant stroll on the east coast, just north of Triabunna last Sunday.

We caught a brief glimpse of a sea eagle, then shortly afterwards, someone spotted the nest:

On our way back, the nest owners were in a tree watching us closely:

We were then treated to a wonderful view of the birds in flight:
