The wintry weather has meant not many days out with the camera and wandering the area for interesting wildlife happenings. The main highlight has been the activity of a pair of Black-shouldered Kite working The Cape, and their interactions with the local Galah flock and several other bird species. Given the lack of photographic opportunities this past week, I have delved into my library of photos to focus this issue on Raptors at The Cape, sharing some of the interesting encounters I have been able to photograph since arriving in August 2019. Cape Chatter is taking a winter break and will return in early August. Thank you for your support and feedback during the year so far.

The Cape’s wetlands, ponds and creek line are pumping at the moment providing wonderful habitats for all sorts of animals. I find these places very peaceful, engaging, and great spots to contemplate and connect with nature. Sometimes you see interesting species, odd animal behaviours and even have a little chuckle when creatures do something unexpected while going about their daily lives. So different to our human world! In this issue, Cape Chatter takes a wander around our ‘moving’ waterways to see what is happening.
