Crabs and Birds, Eyre Penninsula

We've been trying our hand at catching crabs. Every little port town around the Eyre Penninsula has a jetty or warf, off of which people fish and swim. We got a crab pot and have tried to catch blue swimmer crabs several times. We've only had our bait stolen so far. Kevin and Kyra have seen these big crabs while snorkeling. One was enjoying a fish head (bait?) and didn't like the snorkeler intrusion.











We enjoyed the little port towns and bird life. Here on the left is a Galah who thought he was a seagull. His own flock was nearby but it seemed to prefer being an ocean bird rather that a parrot.

Pelicans are very common all around Australia. I liked how this picture shows how big they really are, comparing it to a regular seagull.
