I was keen to check out changes to the fungi at Ferndale Park at Chatswood, so caught a train over and lake down to the park. After my visit, I continued along the track along Swaines Creek to the Lane Cove River and then walked downstream seeing what birds were around. At Epping Road, I caught a bus to St Leonards Station.
It was wet for some of the time during the day, and at one stage when the rain was heavy I sought shelter in a small overhang at Ferndale Park. The fungi was not that abundant or special. Here are some that I saw –
And some birds –
One the walk down to the park from Chatwood Station, I saw a pair of King Parrots –
And along the Lane Cove River, A Grey Fantail and a Brown Gerygone –
Near where I caught the bus, I could see the osprey nest but no birds were around –
