There’s a warm breeze from the north. It’s forecast to be a very hot day. It’s not hot yet though. It’s quite nice. I haven’t seen too many birds today. It’s like they are preparing for it to be very hot.

Day 358 – Lal Lal Bench
I’m glad this Bench was one of the ones in the last week of doing this. It’s so peaceful. There’s so much space. I can see the horizon. I’ve never seen anyone else out here. I saw a Yellow-rumped Thornbill on the way here. I’m underneath a pine tree and, because it’s a windy day, […]
Day 348 – Pettavel Bench
I haven’t been here in a long time, but I like it just as much as the first time. This morning there was a bit of fog. But most of its disappeared now. There’s Magpies singing in the field. I saw some Noisy Miners too.
Day 339 – Josephine’s Bench
It’s overcast today, and I can’t see the city in the horizon. All the same birds as yesterday are here though. There is so many great Benches here. This is another one of my favourites.
Day 338 – Josephine’s Bench
This is so exciting. On the lawn alone, there is so many birds. There’s a Sparrow doing a mating dance, there’s the Superb Wrens, the Crested Pigeons, there’s Australian Pipits, and the White-fronted Chats all just hanging out on the lawn. There’s also some kind of small Honeyeater that I haven’t identified yet. I can’t […]
Day 337 – Josephine’s Bench
There was a little Willy Wagtail out here. He was singing so sweetly! But I missed catching him on the recording. There’s also a little Grey Fantail. What a beautiful morning. I love it when the birds sing. Here’s a picture of the Bench at sunrise.
Day 336 – Josephine’s Bench
Beautiful. It’s almost sunset. We went away again. I wasn’t planning to, but it happened at the last minute and I’m so glad I did. It’s beautiful here. There’s lots of Crested Pigeons, Wrens, Honeyeaters and Crimson Rosellas. This Bench is under the veranda and it has a view of Melbourne city on the horizon. […]
Day 334 – Lal Lal Bench
It’s so windy out here. There’s three very cute little ponies in this field beside me. All have big shaggy manes.
Day 327 – Lal Lal Bench
Today is completely different to the last day I was here. There’s no butterflies, there’s no warm sunshine. There’s actually a cold wind and rain. The fields are wet today. The Wrens are still here though.
Day 326 – Maggie Hill Bench
I’m here, at the very top of the hill at the first light of day. It is sensational. The air is warm. The sun is coming. I’m sitting here waiting to see a grass bird that I know lives here. I want to confirm it’s the Australian Pipit. I’ve only seen it here first thing […]
