Coffs

Beautiful tidal art made by feeding Sand Bubbler Crabs Scopimera inflata




Close up showing the crabs chelae marks near each sand bubble where the sand is gathered


My favourite


Large tidal flats


These clear blobs at first look like air bubbles along the shore, but they may be Sea Gooseberries Pleurobrachia pileus, a comb jelly



Flat Sand Snail Polinices incei


Little Muttonbird Island and Muttonbird Island


This awesome lizard looked like a huge blue-tongue with no markings. It is our largest skink and has the best name - the Land Mullet Bellatorias major


Not sure which dragonfly she is yet (at Coffs Botanic Gardens)


Another beautiful place in the world. Silver Gull Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae
