This is another oldie I have let loose the sliders as it happens to bee one of my favourites.
Whether you have a small patio, a large garden, or a window box, growing flowering plants is an effective way to help bees and other pollinating insects.
Pollinating insects need food, water and shelter. They love plants which are rich in nectar and pollen. Nectar contains sugar for energy, while pollen contains protein and oils – forming a balanced diet.

Housed in a building called De Bazel, after Dutch architect Karel de Bazel. It was built from 1919 to 1926 as the head office of the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij.
De Bazel died before the building was finished.
Since 2006 the building has been home to the city's public record office, designed by Claus and Kaan.

Nankeen Night Heron (Nycticorax caledonicus) immature
While looking through my archives for this day I came across this Night Heron flight image. I really didn't know it was there.
I had taken a bike ride along Federation Trail from Sneydes Rd. to Werribee. This image was taken as I approached the Werribee River - with an older camera and a 250mm kit lens.
The image has been cropped.
