Garden birds, Double Creek and the outlet

We brought one of our bird baths down from Carwoola and initially placed it amongst some pelargoniums.  The birds ignored it completely.  We moved it towards a Camellia bush and it now gets quite a bit of action:  I haven't recorded the visitors in a rigorous fashion but guess about 6 species so far have actually used it.

To start the narrative, here is the Camellia bush.
This bush is very popular with New Holland Honeyeaters:
This leads them to the bath.
 I haven't seen a Common Bronzewing on the bath, but when one displays its bronze wing so nicely it has to be photographed.
 Around noon I went for a walk around the Double Creek Nature Trail, about 5km along Genoa Rd.  A visiting friend had tried this a couple of weeks ago and it was flooded/
 It isn't flooded now the Inlet has been drained!  (Incidentally my camera's effort at this was rather underexposed, so I have edited the shot with Photoshop Express: a free program from Adobe.  I am finding this quite useful for improving poor snaps.)
 From the higher bits of the trail the magnificent eucalypts can be see coming out of the rainforested gully.
 A helpful sign: at least for those trees with leaves less than 50m in the air!
 The walk isn't particularly friendly to the disabled!
 This is an interesting area for birding.  There have been 113 species recorded here, but many of the checklists have quite modest totals.  I scored 10 species - which probably understates the total and "heard-only" records were not possible due to lyrebirds mimicking everything!  My best sighting was  Red-browed Treecreeper - my first sighting for the general area, although there are many reports from nearby.
The orange pin is my record: it appeared on the internet 5 minutes after I submitted the checklist (at home as there is no phone signal on the walk!

Our final activity was a walk to Bastion Point.  I hoped that this was a Lesser Sand Plover but gurus on the Mallacoota Birds FB page said "Double-banded".
We went to check the outlet which is brilliant,  The erosive power of water has it running very well.
I suspect the line of breakers show where much of the sand has been dumped.  These guys are far braver than me.  Its good that they are both wearing life jackets!

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
