I took part in the Tempe Birdos’ survey in the early morning. This month, I joined the group surveying Tempe Reserve. After the survey, I walked par two the way home along the Cooks River and photographed a few more birds.
Walking to Tempe Wetlands, when I went past Ikea, I spotted some stinkhorns growing in the wood chips near the bus stop. Phallus rubicundus –
