Enjoyment begins!

Having spent the last 3 days unpacking (and it seems like most of the time since about September 2018) in some part of the real estate industry we finally seemed to have got to the part where we can start to enjoy our new arrangements.

Here is the view from Karbeethong  on Wednesday(6  February) morning,
Having set up my computer at Angophora Drive I took a photo of the view.  I initially thought the peak in the background was Mount Imlay but that is visible further North.  Possibly it is a peak near the far end on Imlay Rd - about 60km away.  Thanks to the Mallacoota Birds Facebook Group I now know it is Nunngatta Peak, quite close to the West end of Imlay Rd and a tad over 50km away.  (Its 936m high which is quite a significant hill in the Great Dividing Range.)
My next job was to connect up the DVD player and TV.  As the set funed in to stations they were all coming in at strength 10: in Carwoola several (especially SBS) were only 5!  It all happened and here is the picture.
Then came time to cook a meal.  It is an induction stove and we had seen the agent get  it working.  However, even after reading the manual we couldn't get any action.
Then we shifted the small cardboard box and revealed (black arrow) a switch labelled "hot plate" which when pressed caused lights to appear (red arrow). Dohhhh!
We don;t have a clear view to the East but dawn was nice in a pastel sort of way

Some of the pots we brought down have got fungi growing in them
Looking at the amount of spores on the ground, there is going to be a lot of yellow fungus here!
I recall a few weeks/months ago someone on the Mallacoota Birds Facebook Group reported 2 Square-tailed Kites over Karbeethong. Having finally finished unpacking our kit I had time to sit on the deck  looking from Angophora Drive over Mullet Creek to Karbeethong.
A large raptor swung by and I initially thought Wedge-tail but it was behaving oddly, in that it kept stooping into the foliage of trees. Then I realised it had a white head and was far too rufous for a Wedgie. A Square-tailed Kite became Bird of the Day!!!  (The hunting method is typical for that species.)
There followed a period of very interesting raptor action. A Nankeen Kestrel was soaring somewhat higher than the Kite but objected to the Kite's presence and stooped at it (without contact) several times. Then a genuine Wedge-tailed Eagle appeared and was in turn chased by the Kite. I think this shows the Kite and the Eagle.
The Kite was calling loudly all the time in pursuit: this is not usual according to The Australian Bird Guide.

 As the episode closed I noticed a second Kite flying close to the first, and a Wedge-tail. To finish things off on looking at my, admittedly poor photos, one of them featured two Immature Wedge-tails.

A tour of the West (part 1)

Image
A friend from my time in the UN sent me some photos of her family trip along Route 66.  They did this is a large camperwagon rather than a Chevy Corvette (apparently the kids jacked up about being offered a trip in the trunk).  It seems to have been a very good trip for them and most interesting to see their photos.  It was also educational for me, as I found out the German for rocking chair (schaukelstuhl, since you ask). They did 7200 miles in 30 days - a pretty serious bit of distance. This made me think of the trips we did in 1981 when living in Denver.  Frances initiated that idea by getting a book about the National Parks of the West  and marking interesting places.  I then worked out a route on a Rand-McNally Road Atlas (GPS was unknown then  - as were iPhones, personal computers and the internet).  From memory, taking nearly the whole Summer school holidays we covered about 10,000 miles in 70 days.  Here, approximately,  are our routes: That map comes from Google Maps (G

Insects from pine trees

Image
This afternoon (13/1/2015) we were looking out of our sunroom and noticed a strange bit of mist.  On getting my binoculars on the case I found it to be a cloud of tens of thousand of insects.  They appeared with naked eye to be flying away, but with binoculars I thought they were circling. Here are some images In the second one it may be possible to see there are two streams coming from the top of each tree. There was a loud buzzing noise but that could just be several thousand wings. Earlier in the day Frances had been to some nearby willows and they were infested with many little black soft bodied insects.  Perhaps they shifted to the pines and were swarming? Help!! Any information welcome. A colleague, from Wamboin, had noticed a similat phenomenon, but involvng eucalypts rather than pines!  Here are the photos he took with his phone. I have consulted some expert friends.   Their responses were: I would have gone for chironomids. I recall years ago driving al

Satin Bowerbird gets ready for Lanigans Ball.

Image
Having some time to spare today I went to check the bower near "Tom Green's Seat" in the Australian National Botanic Gardens.  The bower was well occupied by what I take to be - based on the green plumage and yellow bill - a 5th or 6th year male Satin Bowerbird.  (With all these images, click on them for a bigger - unfortunately not better focused picture.  The shots were taken hand held on full zoom from about 10m distance into a fairly well shaded location.) He was very much engaged in adding to the construction. Then it seemed that another bird called from the bush above.  This led to a whole lot of activity: the most spectacular (and worst imaged) was a flash of the wings: The bird also did a fair bit of hopping around.  Given that it was still immature I called to mind the greatest traditional Irish song of all time: Diarmuid O'Leary and the Bards performing Lanigan's Ball .  This ditty refers to spending "6 long months at Brooks Academy learning
