March updates

I will start off with a couple of unusual sightings that haven't made it elsewhere on the blog.
  • On 2 March when going down the drive on our dog walk a small (perhaps half normal size) wombat toddled across a hill, took a look at us and fled back towards the Creek.  Surprisingly, without the small dog spotting it.
  • The next day as we were returning from the walk we had the sun behind us and some dark, threatening clouds in front.  An excellent rainbow developed and we both realised it was ages since we had seen one!
Next we have a snap of a Gippsland Water Dragon (because they are interesting to look at)!
Now back to the usual updates and retractions!

This Blog
  • Some material about humidity and validation of the wind direction have been added to the February weather report.
  • Some comments on the onset of Autumnal weather added to the Iceman post.
  • A second fox sighting added
  • In February I posted about the issue of garbage collection.  The survey has now been completed with a very good 60% response rate and 60% of responses being opposed to the proposal.  Thus it is D_E_A_D!

  • Carwoola Birds has been updated with a post about our Frogmouths and another about migrants.
The Every-town Project
I have been asked a couple of times how the project is going.  The answer is 'pretty well'.  The Register of War Memorials includes 815 localities of which I have identified 93 as being in Metropolitan Sydney.  I regard tha as being a different thing to te extra-metropolitan towns so we have 722 in scope localities of which we have visited 71 (or about 10%).  The coverage is illustrated in this image of a map of NSW, with officially visited towns marked in mauve.

A tour of the West (part 1)

Image
A friend from my time in the UN sent me some photos of her family trip along Route 66.  They did this is a large camperwagon rather than a Chevy Corvette (apparently the kids jacked up about being offered a trip in the trunk).  It seems to have been a very good trip for them and most interesting to see their photos.  It was also educational for me, as I found out the German for rocking chair (schaukelstuhl, since you ask). They did 7200 miles in 30 days - a pretty serious bit of distance. This made me think of the trips we did in 1981 when living in Denver.  Frances initiated that idea by getting a book about the National Parks of the West  and marking interesting places.  I then worked out a route on a Rand-McNally Road Atlas (GPS was unknown then  - as were iPhones, personal computers and the internet).  From memory, taking nearly the whole Summer school holidays we covered about 10,000 miles in 70 days.  Here, approximately,  are our routes: That map comes from Google Maps (G

Insects from pine trees

Image
This afternoon (13/1/2015) we were looking out of our sunroom and noticed a strange bit of mist.  On getting my binoculars on the case I found it to be a cloud of tens of thousand of insects.  They appeared with naked eye to be flying away, but with binoculars I thought they were circling. Here are some images In the second one it may be possible to see there are two streams coming from the top of each tree. There was a loud buzzing noise but that could just be several thousand wings. Earlier in the day Frances had been to some nearby willows and they were infested with many little black soft bodied insects.  Perhaps they shifted to the pines and were swarming? Help!! Any information welcome. A colleague, from Wamboin, had noticed a similat phenomenon, but involvng eucalypts rather than pines!  Here are the photos he took with his phone. I have consulted some expert friends.   Their responses were: I would have gone for chironomids. I recall years ago driving al

Satin Bowerbird gets ready for Lanigans Ball.

Image
Having some time to spare today I went to check the bower near "Tom Green's Seat" in the Australian National Botanic Gardens.  The bower was well occupied by what I take to be - based on the green plumage and yellow bill - a 5th or 6th year male Satin Bowerbird.  (With all these images, click on them for a bigger - unfortunately not better focused picture.  The shots were taken hand held on full zoom from about 10m distance into a fairly well shaded location.) He was very much engaged in adding to the construction. Then it seemed that another bird called from the bush above.  This led to a whole lot of activity: the most spectacular (and worst imaged) was a flash of the wings: The bird also did a fair bit of hopping around.  Given that it was still immature I called to mind the greatest traditional Irish song of all time: Diarmuid O'Leary and the Bards performing Lanigan's Ball .  This ditty refers to spending "6 long months at Brooks Academy learning
