I was interested to see what fungi could be about along Wolli Ck. So I caught a bus to Bexley North and then walked down the Two Valleys Track – to Tempe and continued along it, up the Cooks River to Wardell R road and then walked home. It was a pleasant excursion – and I observed birds, flying foxes and fungi.
Spangled Drongo
First some of the fungi –
I did not find that much out, but did spot some nice waxcaps along the way.

Now for some birds –

A month or so ago, I spotted a Spangled Drongo in the valley. Now there appear to be at least two. I think one at least is a juvenile.

Yellow-faced Honeyeater

Grey Fantail
Silvereye

This cormorant appears to have a red plastic band caught around its neck.
I also stopped off at the Flying Fox Camp. Grey-headed Flying Foxes –
