After not seeing any yet this year in their usual place, I was very relieved to finally find some in Friday! Saw 8 males and one female, with one male seemingly trying to woo this female! She was slowly waving her legs about, so not quite sure what that meant in response!! Just managed to capture him with his little wings open! Couldn't hear any sound though...

Lovely wild bush beach just a little south of our bush beach. Its protected by some outer reefs and two very small islands that make it nice and tranquil for swimming and has some very deep holes for snorkeling and rock pools to explore. One beach is shell grit and the longer beach section is sand.
Lots of fish and lots of crayfish (lobsters).
Native to my area in the hills of Western Australia. A field of this bush among the Wandoo trees can look like low lying smoke.
Conospermum (family Proteaceae) is an endemic genus of Australia with its centre of distribution in south- west Western Australia. There are more than 50 species in the genus. Conospermum generally grow in well-drained sandy soils that have gravel incorporated. Some species are found at the edges of swampy sites.
Within a short time the grasshopper has been decapitated. Comparing the size of its legs to those of its captor shows just what a big & impressive creature the bush cricket is.

Casuarina Coastal Reserve is a protected area in the northern area of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The reserve comprises approximately 1,361 hectares (3,363 acres) of habitats between Rapid Creek and Buffalo Creek. The area includes 8 kilometres (5 mi) of sandy beaches backed by Casuarina trees and sandstone cliffs. The reserve includes areas of mangroves, paperbark forests and monsoon vine thickets.
Fauna found within the reserve include ospreys, sea eagles, cormorants, gulls and a variety of marine life including crocodiles. Mammals found in the area include the northern brushtail possum and the northern brown bandicoot which both thrive in the forests.
This bush has flowered for at least the last 30 years, but as I don’t live here in Bala I’m not sure whether it’s a fruit bearing bush or not. What I do know is that the bees were around it the other evening and the splash of colour it provides early in the spring is welcomed.
Up early ( for me on holiday at least) this morning to get another ride in before too many in this part of the world get up and out.
Thanks for stopping

The fantastic Bush Stone-curlew! Before I went to Far North Queensland, I had no idea these birds were so active at night! During the day they are generally inactive, usually sheltering in vegetation or the like & remaining very still. However, once the sun has set, these birds come to life as they dart around on the hunt for insects. Fascinating to watch, even if their eerie wailing calls can be somewhat disconcerting in the middle of the night!

Fantastic, cryptic, beautiful birds
The bush chat is a small passerine bird found ranging from West Asia and Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. About sixteen subspecies are recognized through its wide range with many island forms. It is a familiar bird of countryside and open scrub or grassland where it is found perched at the top of short thorn trees or other shrubs, looking out for insect prey. They pick up insects mainly from the ground.
They nest in cavities in stone walls or in holes in an embankment, lining the nest with grass and animal hair. The males are black with white shoulder and vent patches whose extent varies among populations. Females are predominantly brownish while juveniles are speckled.
These birds like to congregate in small groups, on the ground. When alerted they will walk away very slowly, freeze in position, or just lay down on the ground. They will fly away only when really pressed. About knee height, when standing.

Bush Cicadas are also known as Grand Western Cicadas. Found in the Great Plains and the Southwest. The males call females with a loud buzzing drone that trails off and then starts up again. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

When Paul & Andre told me that we were going to stay at the "Bush Camp", I was thinking of some very rudimentary accommodation, and what was not my surprise when I saw those 5-stars facilities!
5 exposures handheld HDR tonemapped with Dynamic Photo HDR. Blended back the +1EV exposure for the foreground and did some color correction.
Please check Paul's (panorama_paul) and André's (andreinafrica) photostreams for more great shots of that fantastic 2-days outing in the bush!
