25.01.2022 So far unidentified mushroom, 1 cm tall, growing on dead wood in the forest.

24.01.2022 Finally I have a new macro lens. Here's some fungi. I believe this is Dacryopinax spathularia, a jelly fungus. The fungi in the second two photos covers about 3.5 cm all up.

24.01.2022 Brown honeyeater, enjoying his solitary bath. Late afternoon, winter in Murwillumbah.

22.01.2022 I think this is another type of polypore fungi, also from the trip to Protester Falls. If you can see it a little larger, it has little pores on it, rather than the gills of a "normal" mushroom.

21.01.2022 Scarlet honeyeaters a male and female, and then the male by himself. Late afternoon, winter in Murwillumbah.

19.01.2022 These are tiny fungi growing in an old piece of wood. They are 4 mm tall. Not the best photo. Sadly, my macro lens is not working so I used a normal lens and an extension tube (with which I need a lot more practice.)

18.01.2022 There was a small family of yellow-tailed black cockatoos in the grass trees today. Just the three of them, mum, dad and baby (who was as big as Mum and Dad, and still demanding to be fed). The father was busy teaching Foraging 101 by demonstration. Mum was watching carefully, no doubt assessing both the effectiveness of the teaching methodology, and the progress of the student. Photo 1: Father teaches Upright Standard Approach, with Smile, Degree of Difficulty 1.1 Photo 2: Father teaches Side Grasp Over the Shoulder Approach, Degree of Difficulty 7.4 Photo 3: Baby learns Awkward Grasp About to Fall Off Approach, Degree of Ineptitude, 10.

18.01.2022 Swamp wallaby, checking up on her baby. "Don't you make me come in there!!"

17.01.2022 White Throated Honeyeaters... do I need to call in an exorcist?

15.01.2022 These photos are of the same fungi, a type called a polypore. There were masses of these around, mostly clinging to rotting twigs. They're about 6-7cm across. This was also at Protester Falls, west of Brunswick Heads, NSW.

15.01.2022 This has been a wonderful week full of wild-life... I saw an Echidna on Sunday night, and a Tawny Frogmouth (which is like an owl but NOT an owl). On Monday there was a small goanna up in the grapevines which grow around the house; on Tuesday there was a Leaden Flycatcher (the grey bird below) in the vines (they visit on rare occasions) and some Rainbow Bee-Eaters (the other bird, below) in the grass. Today there have been Red-browed Finches and Scarlet Honeyeaters in the birdbath, and a Brown Tree Snake (also called a Night Tiger) in the living room.

14.01.2022 These tiny birds are Red-browed Finches, having a swim in my birdbath. They were sharing with the Eastern Robin.

13.01.2022 I found this moth today at someone's front door. I think it's a Guava Moth. It's about 4.5 cm long.

12.01.2022 This little mushroom is called a Vermillion Waxcap. It was about 2 cm across and maybe 4 cm tall. It was at the Protester Falls, NSW.

09.01.2022 Lichen, growing on a post at Protester Falls, NSW (inland from Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads). The tiny red tops, the "fruiting bodies" are about the size of a pin-head or match head at the biggest.

09.01.2022 Today there is a large flock of yellow-tailed black cockatoos in the back yard. They've been around for a few days, but not this close until today. There were 30-40 of them, mostly pulling the dead stalks of the grass trees to pieces. They seemed to be getting grubs out of the stalks. The birds with pink round their eyes are males.

07.01.2022 White-throated honeyeaters. "Yes, alright, we'll turn our backs while you have your bath."

07.01.2022 Here's another "polypore" fungi from Protester Falls, NSW. Like a dancer's skirt.

06.01.2022 Another scarlet honeyeater at the bird bath.

05.01.2022 Superb Fairy Wrens, male and female.

04.01.2022 Spangled Drongo in the frangipani tree.

04.01.2022 Today's wildlife: a pair of green tree snakes. Possibly mating in one of my air conditioners.

03.01.2022 Another visitor to my garden today Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor).

02.01.2022 It was quite windy this morning, giving this Forest Kingfisher a crewcut.

01.01.2022 AND, I could hear a boobook owl in the forest last night, AND there were fire flies in Uki on Sunday night too! So much to see!!
