I spent and pleasant and interesting day with Digi Dave in the southern part of Royal National Park. There had been some recent rain, so we first visited Bola Creek to see if any fungi was out.
It was late in the fungi season, and also there had not been that much rain, so the fungi that was out was not that great. But we did find a few interesting things –
Bactridium flavum
There was also a Lyrebird scratching amongst the leaf litter –
We then headed to one of the picnic area river flats along the Hacking River.
A number of birds were out –
Eastern Yellow Robin
Striated Thornbill
Digi Dave and a Magpie
Grey Fantail
Juvenile Crimson Rosellas
Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
We then headed out to the lookout at Otford.
Then back to another of the flats near the Hacking River. This one close to the old Lilydale Station.
Eastern Yellow Robin
Lewin’s Honeyeater
Bassian Thrush
And a Grey Fantail hunting for insects –
