I’m not sure who got the biggest surprise, me or this White-plumed Honeyeater.

I was on my way back to the house after taking pics of the butterflies. It was on the way to the bird bath. After pausing for this photo, it snatched a mouthful of water and took off.

I saw an Eastern Spinebill Honeyeater yesterday in the gum tree out back. But it was gone by time I got the camera. Good to know they are still about.

This walk was Sunday, 21st June, 2020. First off, we headed down Joe’s Road,  checking where the cows were, and hoped for kangaroos. Both were having an afternoon snooze.

The first destination is Barri’s Lane which runs along the hill top, among the trees.

We turn into Barri’s Lane – both named after Joseph Barri, an early Italian settler. Lots of photos today. Continue reading
