This was my daily exercise during the lockdown. I caught a bus to Bexley North and then started walking down the Two Valleys Track. I continued all the way to Tempe, then I headed up the Cooks River Path to Wardell Road and walked home from there.
I was on the lookout for birds and fungi as I walked. It was fairly quiet for birds compared to previous visits. And the fungi was not that special. Here is some of the fungi I found in the first part of the walk –
Near Bardwell Park, I saw this nice Red-bellied Black Snake basking in the sun at the Bray Ave Wetland.
I crossed Hartill-Law Road and entered Girrahween Park. I spotted some Ghost Fungus –
Here is some of the fungi on he way to Turrella Reserve –
And just before Turrella Reserve I spotted this Figbird –
The walk to Tempe and then up the Cooks River was fairly uneventful, except for the number of people out exercising along the Cooks River. Here some Pelicans flying overhead –
As I was walking up Wardell Road towards home, I heard a commotion amongst some birds. I had packed my camera away, but got it out and managed to get some photos of a Brown Goshawk being harassed by some magpies.
