In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.

My mate has one those things. Noisy bugger.
I think sightings of wild colonies of non native Ringnecks are meant to be reported in most states. Might want to check with your local Gov on that one. Pretty sure they're considered a big threat if they get established in the wild here.

Thanks crew, was a special encounter with the fading golden light and the parrot letting me get right up close. Stoked.

Good point tubeshooter, have wondered about that. Will get in touch with them.
@distracted, we are southern burbs of Melbourne, lockdown capital of the World!

Zenagain - I think I read a few years ago that the Bower Bird moves more dirt per year than any other animal on the face of the earth . By a long way .

The Blue Mountains but we also walk in the Grampians most years Craig. We combine a week+ in the BMs with a few days in the Kangaroo Valley and then off to the south coast before heading back to Vic. The walking around Black Heath are our current favourites.

Nice view Guy, it will be nice to get back to those places again. Have great memories of Black Heath and Kangaroo Valley from a previous life...
Also, thanks for the info Tubeshooter. I did the same after reading your earlier post and notified the Department of Ag who are responsible here. Got a reply within 20 mins - was quite impressed.

@Blackers lucky you’ve got some wildlife to keep you entertained!
@Hutchy Maybe a Mallefowl or a Brush Turkey. Bowerbird is too busy dancing to be shifting dirt.

That's great Blackers , keep us posted.
I only remembered cos my mate had two of them until one got out and he mentioned calling the gov about it. Having glanced some info on them the potential for devastation if a breeding colony gets established seems massive . Better safe than sorry and thanks for looking into it.

@tubeshooter, will do. Be interesting to see what follow up there is.
@distracted, yes “lucky” is me! We do have a nice beach , but no surf. Looking at Guy Smiley’s shot of a familiar place a page back or so reminds me of what we are missing.

Lion print - I took this as we were doing a guided bush walk through Kruger National Park.
When they tell you to walk in single file only and not talk so it doesn’t attract predators you definitely listen…
The foot was about the width of a 4wd tyre

Yeah it's got it all and you don't even realise that Sydney, the city is right there. Hardly go over that side. If the beaches were located more regional they'd be an insane wave paradise well worth the trip every time.

The results of being proactive in lockdown. Seeing a lot of reactive behaviour during these covid years. Look at what you’ve got, not what you havn't got. Loving those National park photos Craig, think I’ll book myself in for a walk there later on. Always wanted to ride that ferry across now I’ve got a reason for it
