HERE COMES THE WET

Captured by Abra , a recent storm sweeping into  Cairns , North Queensland , followed    days  later  by  a  Pelican  in  mauve haze .

Meanwhile , on Magnetic Island, after welcome overnight  rain , two Curlew  chicks  at the  front of the  Little Darwin den peep out  from protective  mother , below , to see  if it  is okay to come out  for breakfast .  

Finding the coast clear, the chicks emerge  for  a feed , following foraging   and clucking  mother .
