Still around the ACT, dodging Covid-19. Spring has well and truly arrived, and it has been wet.
A second pair of Tawny Frogmouths have nested along my morning walking path.
The warmer weather has brought out the Cunningham's Skinks
and Eastern Water Dragons.
We had our first view of the Frogmouths' nestlings this year.
The local Eastern Grey Kangaroos keep a sharp eye on the dogs
Mum and the younger fledgling showing how to imitate a dead branch.
Managed to get another night with the Milky Way out on Uriarra Road
Kookaburras also nested along the creek
The Magpie-Larks (PeeWees) also raised their first brood
The Grey Butcherbird was on the hunt for food too.
A morning spent on Lake Burley Griffin - Esme snoozed until a carp splashed!!
Springbank Island is slowly being overhauled with willows removed to open the shoreline and tree plantings across the island.
Silver Gulls have set up a communal nesting site on the island.
Patterson's Curse is spreading across ACT Parks
One of my Home grown Kangaroo Paws - I have a number in the garden now, all doing very well.
A Little Pied Cormorant surfaced with a large yabby and swallowed it -
before climbing onto a rock tp dry.
This Grey Fantail was singing and chasing insects.
