The Wrens are here. The acacia trees have just dropped their seeds. The whole path is covered with these little red seeds. They almost looks like eyes, or some type of jewellery stones. There’s some seed pods still in the trees, I’ll put in a photo of those too.

Day 309 – Lal Lal Bench
It’s a beautiful summer day out in the fields. Today, there are a million butterflies everywhere. I’ve taken many photos trying to catch them. They’re difficult to catch. There’s white ones and orange ones, and dragonflies too. I also saw what I think might be the European Goldfinch. I have to go look it up. […]
Day 308 – Northern Bench
The Corellas! The Corellas are very active at this time of year. The river is full of their feathers, the trees have twigs and leaves thrown down out of them, gum nuts too. They’re everywhere.
Day 306 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
There’s so many birds around. In a grevillea down the street this morning, Mum and I saw some Musk Lorikeets and Purple Crowned Lorikeets. They are uncommon nomads and they were all flying together in a big flock. It’s pretty exciting when you see two new birds at once. It was a great way to […]
Day 297 – Admiral’s Bench
On the Bench at Admiral’s Arch at Kangaroo Island, South Australia. There’s nobody here but us in the Arch, and the seals. There’s seals everywhere, they’re sleeping on rocks and swimming in the water. There’s some in the photo, but they’re camouflaged on the rocks. The a lot of Giant Gulls here, soaring around in […]
Day 294 – Antechamber Bay Bench
We slept last night to the sound of the ocean. The water is so clear and blue. On the way to the Bench there was Hooded Plover footprints in the sand. It’s overcast today, but there’s one hole in the clouds, and it’s making a beautiful spotlight onto part of the mainland.
Day 292 – Mt Lofty Bench
We’re at the Mt Loft Botanic Gardens. I just saw really tiny little Eurasian Coot babies for the first time. They were so young, they still had the orange yellow feathers around their faces. These gardens are so beautiful, I’m going to have to put in more photos of flowers and a Bench. There’s so […]
Day 290 – Murray View Jetty Bench
Sunset on the river, on our own private little jetty. We’ve been here before and loved it, so we came back. All the Welcome Swallows are darting around catching mosquitoes.
Day 288 – Lily Pond Bench
I’m over the other side of the Lily Pond today. There’s some lilies quite close to the edge that I want to take photo of. A White-faced Heron just flew over. That’s what I can hear. There’s a lot of birds around today. The Kookaburras were laughing before, and the Blue Wrens are standing on […]
Day 284 – Other Side Bench
The first thing I saw when I came down here, was the Red Wattlebird taking a bath again. It’s amazing how quickly the river level drops. Already I can see ripples where the water’s just barely covering the causeway. It feels like only last week that it flooded again. But now it looks like the […]
