Over the past couple of weeks, I have done some wanderings down to the dunes overlooking 2nd Surf Beach to see if the leading Humpback Whales have begun checking out the inshore waters of Cape Paterson on their migration north. Nothing yet, but they shouldn’t be far away—last year we saw our first ‘breach’ around the 24th May. On the way to the lookout, I was fascinated by the territorial and feeding activities of our local honeyeaters in the Coastal Banksia.
