CENTRAL COAST KAYAK - AVOCA LAGOON - 11 april 2015

This kayak is up with some of the best I've done'.

I have kayaked Avoca Lagoon many times but this morning it was vibrant.

 

The sun was rising and it's rays played harmoniously with the vegetation and water.

The reflections were inspiring and tranquil.

 

The birds were abundant and varied. My favourites being the eagle being chased off by a group of smaller birds and the swamp hen jumping across the branches of an overhanging tree.

The bats were visible being silhouetted by the sun's back drop.

The water level was high and it was heaps of fun paddling around usually landlocked trees. The reeds and grasses formed a soft barrier to paddle through.

 

Such a good kayak.

distance - 1.95km

CENTRAL COAST KAYAK - AVOCA LAGOON - 5 MARCH 2015

I went for a kayak at Avoca Lagoon in the early morning. It was a good 1 hour kayak.

Highlights included :

an early morning fog across the water.

very small fish in small schools jumping in the shallows.

large fish breaching the water.

birds roosting in the trees overhanging the water.

birds in flight - fast and slow

birds kicking on the water for uplift to begin their flight

the sand bank between the lagoon and the ocean.

the sunrise lighting up the scenery and bird life.

a black swan up close slowly entering the water as I paddled around a corner.

an egret as I paddled around the Bareena island. it just sat there on it's log perch and watched me from only 3 metres away.

the low water level exposing sand banks and shore lines that had been eroded deeply by wave action. there's quite a few trees ready to come down.

A relaxing easy going kayak.

CENTRAL COAST - AVOCA LAGOON – KAYAK - 12 OCTOBER 2014 - 'TRANQUILITY'

It was a clear, blue sky morning with no wind.


I drove to North Avoca and parked at Avoca Lagoon, officially named Bulbararing Lagoon. I launched into the lagoon and paddle west between the mainland and the island (Bareena Island)  in the lagoon.

The water was glassy reflecting the sky and foreshore. A light mist hung above the surface of the water. The kayak cut across the water causing a small wake which rippled solitary across the surface of the lagoon.

There were a number of birds on the lagoon. Some birds were foraging for food in the water or on the lagoon edge and others were roosting on the overhanging tree branches.

It was a relaxing tranquil kayak.
