There’s a big flock of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos at the Lily Pond today. There’s also the usual Eastern Rosella flock that I often see here. I saw some Pigeons and the Noisy Miners. I haven’t been here in a while and it’s really nice to be back. Over the next few weeks I might try […]

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 286 – Lily Pond Bench
It’s a warm morning, and because it’s so warm the sun has heated up all the pine needles making them release their smell. It also smells like dandelions out here today. I had to take a photo of this field of dandelions, even though they are weeds not wildflowers.
Day 285 – Lily Pond Bench
You know it’s summer when you start seeing the Blue-Tongue Lizards out and about in the sun. We saw this guy on the path.
Day 283 – Lily Pond Bench
The Blue Wren is here, standing on top of the reeds again. You might even be able to hear them. The Lily Pond is full of flowers. It’s a lot deeper than it has been at this time of year than last year. There’s a very clear divide between where the water is shallow enough […]
Day 282 – Lily Pond Bench
I was walking along and I saw this green shining gem on the ground. I went closer and realised it was a Christmas beetle’s wing. I’m going to take it home so everyone can see it too.
Day 280 – Lily Pond Bench
No words today… and no recording, just this proud Moorhen strutting through the reeds.
Day 273 – Lily Pond Bench
The path to the Pond has dried so now I can walk on it. There’s a flock of Superb Wrens here, perching on the reeds. I haven’t seen that before. While I don’t see many people sitting on benches, today as I was approaching, there was three magpies sitting on the Bench. As I got […]
Day 265 – Lily Pond Bench
I couldn’t even get to the Bench today. Huge storms have been rolling through last night and this morning. The Lily Pond has overflowed all over the path. I’ve never seen it like this before, I guess it’s because it rained so recently.
Day 252 – Lily Pond Bench
I was on my way to the lily pond, when I saw these gang gang cockatoos. It reminded me of a photo I took last year of a gang gang cockatoo in this same tree. It’s an acacia tree, and at this time of year they love the seeds. I went closer to get another […]
