More Canberra snaps

There have ended up being quite a few snaps in this.  There are going to be a fair few morning shots, often featuring these three cranes (much as I dislike giving Geocon publicity).
The dawn lights of Bunda St.
And the City Walk lights still on in the Plane trees.
Our main walk for the day was around Campbell Park.
Obviously Defence need a new submarine contract.  They are having to waste money on these huge signs: I didn't count but guess there are at least 10 of these on the airport side of the Offices.  As far as I am concerned birding is a lawful activity.
Rarely see Eastern Rosellas at Mallacoota so it was nice to be reminded how colourful they are.  (On the subject of names, on the Vic DEWLP site the list of threatened species includes the Easter Curlew.)
This is the morning of the 12 <sup>th</sup>.  Mount Ainslie through the rising mist.
A wider angle version.
Camellias under the site of the fruit bat colony (now devoid of bats as there is little for them to feed on).
An excellent view to the Carillion.
For some reason my phone didn't take such a good image of the NLA and Parliament House
Perhaps this is Floriade 2020?
The temporary fence industry need not despair.  TAMS has found a need to erect fences to protect new roads being made (for no reason that is apparent to me)
There is a little more Floriade behind Stage 88 (and, I believe, scattered through the 'burbs).
A Blue-billed Duck has turned up at the Fyshwick poo pits and on my third visit I managed to see it and get this appalling quality image.
There were also lots of Crested Pigeons (59) and Red-rumped Parrots (19) around.  The background is white as I post edited the images to bring out the colour of the birds.  Rather tricky snapping birds against a polarising sky.

Later in the day I went for a wander around Glebe Park and found these 4 King Parrots munching on the buds of the oaks.
Also this horde not practicing social distancing.  As half the group were <5 they are excused: their parents aren't.  I wonder how thick the snot is on those swings?
This has got a little out of sequence but is a photo from a walk we did along the molonglo from North Weston.  I am not an engineer but the weight of that road and its traffic seems to basically be held by a relatively few bolts connecting the struts to the concrete!  Nice graffiti.
Our (or at least my) intention had been to do a loop walk but it turned out the crucial low-level crossing was a little replete with water for dry sock maintenance!  Turn again.
A little more community art - presumably trash from the river.
An evening view of Black Mountain.

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
