Saturday, several of us are gathered at Commonwealth Lake (at safe distancing), waiting for the osprey. Finally, one showed up, and did take the strike position a few times, but never took a dive.
Striated Fieldwren (Calamanthus fuliginosus)
Images today are from a visit to Truganina Park on this day in 2019.
As I wandered along the southern bank of Laverton I met Flickr mate and fellow birder Rodger www.flickr.com/photos/62434662@N05 with a couple of other birders who were on a Birdlife walk in the area. They told me they had heard a Fieldwren further along. Sure enough as walked I heard the call and was happy to see it pop up unto this branch and stay long enough for a couple of shots.
Get the Hell off my lawn.

My special Chisholm Creek Park food channel edition comes to an abrupt end when the great egret fails to come up with a fish....

I watched this Snowy Egret make a dozen successful strikes. Each produced a tiny fish, no more than 2-3 inches in length. Lots of nibbles, never a full meal!

Off I go.
No cuts no signature no nada.
Just a cool picture
at Caracol, on the edge of the mangrove and in a salt pan, a prowling and wading SNEG sees the camera and strikes the "Yellow Boot Raised Pose (sidelit)..." Well done, SNEG...
Looks like our reservoir is now frozen over. However, it is still a place that delivers marvellous opportunities for terrific compositions. This time in black & white.
I moved overseas a couple of times with work - sometimes you strike lucky, and sometimes you strike very lucky.
We managed to bag the rental of this just-refurbished 100 year old apartment in the Champel district of Geneva which came with original parquet floors, French-style doors, and what I seem to remember as a 12 foot curtain drop. The lift too was in the old open French style. We were lucky because plenty of Swiss were hankering after it, but the owner clearly decided the company I worked for had deeper pockets and would be a better credit risk.
This was taken in 2005 - not too long before we would up sticks again and move to the US Deep South. So out went the smart suits and ties, and in came the short sleeves and khaki slacks - much more my style.
Inevitably you adapt your lifestyle to a new environment and I did miss a lot of things about Switzerland, yet oddly the most enduring one was my daily commute on the number 3 trolley bus.
All credit to Mrs H for dressing the room.
Sorry, no trains in this one.
