A wet series of days was forecast for Sydney, so I slept in, and then noticed it was not raining outside. It was still not raining at lunchtime – so I decided to head out and do a local walk. I caught a bus to Bexley North and then started out down the Two Valleys Track along Wolli Creek. As it happens, no sooner had I started walking, then it started to rain! The rain did not last long – but it did reoccur on and off during my walk – and was a bit of a nuisance.
I carried two cameras – one for fungi and the other for birds. Because of the rain, it was a lo of trouble setting ip the fungi camera on a tripod etc, so it was not used much. Also – there was not a real lot of fungi out.
Here is some fungi that I did see –
Auricularia cornea
Xylaria sp.
Perhaps Hypholoma sp.
Jelly Fungus
And some of the birds –
Welcome Swallow
Silvereye
Rufous Fantail
This is the first Rufous Fantail I have seen in the Wollie Creek Valley. I think it was one of a pair.
Golden Whistler
Brown Gerygone
Little Wattlebird
New Holland Honeyeater
I walked down as far as Turrella Reserve, then headed to the station. I caught a series of trains to St Peters and then visited Sydney Park for about two hours. The rain was holding off.
