The Group looking for birds
Instead of looking for birds it became a leech search or something.
Given our eyes were to the ground it became a fungi walk.
The bush was beautiful and the steam rose from a log.
The lake was clear and blue but not a lot of birds.
There were some birds that wanted to be photographed but the others were shy.
Report of 2 Painted Honeyeater with migrating Yellow-faced and White-naped Honeyeater at Batemans Bay this morning, from Dimitris Bertzeletos.
There were binoculars, monoculars and telescopes. All wielded by determined people. No bird escaped on this trip.
This is who we are in red.
The Group.
There were land birds but we came to see the sea birds.
The flowers.
The view.

There were a few sea birds
If you look closely at this bird on the left you will see it is not sitting but it is ………….
And wouldn't you if another bird did this to you.
It even made the ducks fly
Mandy led the trip.
The first thing we saw was the Monarch Butterfly which would have pleased Dave. The Cowboy Beetle was at the end of the trip and the fly somewhere in between.
Alas the upright shots are hard to adjust.
The Group included a few extras. Thanks to Mandy it was a great trip.
We had a couple of extras for lunch.
The Birds were numerous and beautiful.
The bush was lush.
The view of Montague was spectacular.
The beach was rugged.
The morning had been very hot but the afternoon was cloudy and dull. That is my excuse for the paucity of photos.

When is a Mum not a Mum?
An unwelcome guest for other birds.
A different guest who is usually reclusive. At least I could tell Bill Nagle that it was not me who stole his tomatoes.
January Sightings at Surfside
A sample of Comerang's Birds and Reptiles
There are many birds and animals to see here.
I was told by one of our members that there were no snakes about and just 50 steps away…..
The lizard was wary.
This feature was designed for birds.
The Wrens watch the cafe with interest.
Others don't like the food or is it the company?
There is a frog in here.
The water supply is good.
The Butterflies are beautiful.
The flock are preparing for Sunday.
The St Andrews Cross may give the sermon.
