24.01.2022 The wet season has drizzled to a close through June and we are now experiencing some dry weather with mostly sunny days and quite cold nights. River mist is often a feature of these cold, clear mornings as we experienced yesterday at the start of a tour with Murray the Daintree Boatman. In spite of the cold it was a wonderful morning excursion and we were able to enjoy lengthy observations of a Great-billed Heron both on the main river and in Barratt Creek.

24.01.2022 World Rainforest Day was celebrated on June 22 but you can still celebrate by donating to Rainforest Rescue 's latest appeal. Save some more rainforest!

23.01.2022 Although we're still having occasional rain showers the weather bureau declared the end of 'the wet' a few weeks ago. Some clear mornings and gorgeous sunny days have lifted everyone's spirits, all the more appreciated after our long and very wet summer. About a month ago we started seeing extraordinary numbers of butterflies, including some species we had not previously observed.

16.01.2022 A beautiful, sunny day and a quiet afternoon with time for a walk but I didn't get much further than the bird hide. Finally it was my turn to get a good look at the Burdekin Duck family! There had been no sign of them for nearly a week so I was thrilled to have a chance to observe them. They were just coming down to the water as I carefully made my way into the hide without alerting them. [ 192 more words ] http://wildwings.com.au/2019/08/28/not-sitting-ducks/

04.01.2022 Allen has spent many hours observing life at Wild Wings & Swampy Things this summer. I greatly admire his patience and dedication in recording the life around us especially in the very wet conditions we have been experiencing.

01.01.2022 After my late afternoon watering routine today I strolled through the garden back to the house and suggested to Allen that we take a glass of wine and some nibbles to the bird hide. Magpie geese were calling to each other as they sorted out roosts for the approaching night. A male was standing with the three goslings at one end of the main pond then suddenly he took off leaving the goslings alone and looking very uncertain as to what they should do.
