Mud Flat Photos

I took these photos when the weather finally got a little sunnier.

The first photo is of a couple of mudskippers, or Australian lungfish. These fish have rudimentary lungs and can move about on the land using their flippers, These two were in the middle of a territorial dispute when I took this.

The second photo is an ibis. Many water birds forage on the mud flat at low tide.

The third photo was taken a little later, near high tide. I include it just because we should have at least one photo of a sunny Cairns!
