It’s another very quiet day down at the river. Except for the birds, they are all singing this morning. I see Edward cruising down the river. There’s a little bit of sunshine but the wind is still cold. I hear baby magpies everywhere.

Day 227 – Switchback Bench
It’s a windy, windy day today. I was sitting on the Bench in the sun when I saw this little blue wren preening in the tree next to me. See if you can spot him in the photo.
Day 222 – Private Bench
It’s misty this morning, but it’s a high mist and I can see the sun trying to shine through. When I got here today, I startled a family of wood ducks. They were just hiding in the bank under the Bench. There was the two parents and ten little fluffy ducklings. You can see them […]
Day 215 – Private Bench
It’s a beautiful afternoon with the ducks gliding by on the river. The river is up again. It’s quite full. It’s not around the legs of Private Bench yet though. I love it when it’s up.
Day 213 – Northern Bench
There was three red rumped parrots down at the water’s edge when I arrived today. They flew up into the tree and then flew down to land on the other bank. I wish that something as small as a phone could take photos is close up as a telephoto lens so I could get pictures […]
Day 211 – Tennis Court Bench
Today, there was a very stately Magpie strutting around the Bench when I arrived. They’re such striking black and white birds. It’s cold today, grey and windy. I’m hoping it doesn’t rain on us while we play tennis. I’m sitting here waiting for my son.
Day 209 – Blue Wren Bench
This always has been one of my favourite Benches. There is just such a gentleness here, a peacefulness, a softness and a sweetness. Today, I was sitting here quietly and a mother duck was swimming down the river leading her little ducklings. They are the first baby ducks I have seen this spring. Unfortunately, as […]
Day 203 – Northern Bench
The river level is pretty much the same as it was the other day. There’s a little bird up here in the tree. It is singing so sweetly. I’m sure you’d be able to hear it in the recording. As much as I love it when the river floods, I do miss being able to […]
Day 202 – Lily Pond Bench
There is so often Eastern Rosellas in the big gum tree at the Lily Pond. Today, there’s also some very pregnant looking cows in the field behind. They’re all black cows. Some of them came to say hello to me.
Day 190 – Private Bench
I’m not sure what to take a picture of today. It’s a bit of a grey day. It was windy earlier, but it’s calm now. There’s two Eastern Rosellas up in the tree above the Bench. I don’t usually see them here. I see them more often at the Lily Pond. I still haven’t thought […]
