and that is just in our own backyard!
Shrill cicadas call all day, and one black one with red eyes was found.
Red and black of the Red Belly Black Snake I discovered alongside me, as I
walked up our path!
Two resident tawny Frogmouths, young and still with some baby feather fluff,
are learning how to camouflage themselves and take up their pose.
Ben's Lemon Myrtle, a native tree, is finally, after years, flowering for the first
time and attracting a small eco system. Europen bees, 2 native bee species,
2 ant species and an unusual spider.
There are frogs calling all night and tadpoles in the pond. The two Eastern Water
Dragons, one adult one immature, are scuttling around. Many Water Skinks, and
grass skinks.
Lots of Cockatoos and Lorikeets by day, some owls heard at night. Wallabies, heard
but not seen, active after nightfall
This one in the fir tree outside the loungeroom.
The Lemon Myrtle budding.
European bee.
Fully open, very pretty and fragrant.
A native bee.
In the reserve a very large, now empty bird's nest.
Maybe big enough for the Tawny Frogmouths?
Next door's Gymea Lily has gone to seed and is now being feasted upon
by Sulphur Crested Cockatoos and Rainbow Lorikeets.
