Ladybug like insects on a seat at the train station. There's a fair bit of sooty mould on the seat, maybe they're after that?

I was just watching clouds of moths around this bottlebrush tree, when a pair of musk lorikeets rocketed into it. Sadly, I didn't capture the birds on video, and they disappeared into the back of the tree quickly. But it shook up the moths a lot!

Anyone have a clue what this insect is? There's a few of them around the house, along with a bazillion moths and hoverflies.

Edit: apparently a crane fly.

Newcastle line trains out due to freight train broken down. Buses running between Fassifern and Newcastle instead. We're getting to Glendale to catch a 13 from there instead.

The musk lorikeets around here usually fly high and stick to the high gum blossoms, so I rarely get to see them properly. Lately though, they've been getting into the red bottlebrush which gives me a fighting chance.

A small green parrot with splashes of red and yellow is hanging upside down, with its face in a red bottlebrush flower. The other flowers will get their turn, there are rainbow lorikeets and noisy miners that visit this tree frequently too.A small green parrot with splashes of red, yellow, and blue is hanging over a red bottlebrush flower. It has stopped feeding to look up and see me taking its photo.

From this morning's walk into Toronto NSW for groceries, a willy wagtail sitting on its finely crafted nest over water.

We sat down at the lake today with chips and a couple of beers, before facing up to the stupor market. Quite a few yacht races on the go. Here's a small group of one race returning to the Toronto yacht club.

Yesterday we caught the bus to Teralba and walked to Speers Point for a picnic. Here's a selection of birds seen along the way.

#LakeMacquarie #BirdsOfOz

An Australian pelican, white with black wings and a pink bill, is paddling on Cockle Creek. The creek water is cloudy, and the pelican is heading into the shadows of mangrove trees.A distant shot of two pelicans on the water near a floating platform at the edge of Cockle Creek, with mangroves and casuarina trees behind.A darter sits on rocks at the edge of a road alongside Cockle Creek. Across the water are mangroves and casuarina trees.Four wood ducks on a grassy area. All were sitting until I disturbed them by stopping and looking; now three are standing.

Spring is bouncing well. Yesterday, shorts and 36°C. Today I'm in jeans and the day is struggling towards its 20°C forecast max. Back to hot by the weekend.

Seeing this stuck up around Toronto NSW recently, like this one on a bin. I'm guessing anti One Notion? Definitely a hyper-local campaign 🙂
