A group of friends that normally walk with Brian Everingham on his NPA walks, decided to visit Oatley Park, as Brian was overseas, so not around to organise his usual walks. In the group were Judy, Sue, Deb, Derek and myself.
We had a great visit. As well as the view from the lookouts, we also saw a nice variety of birds. Here are some – Continue reading

I made another visit to Long Reef, again with the principal aim of photographing the local Ospreys. I had a reasonable day. There were plenty of Ospreys, but they were not that active compared to other visits.
When I arrived at the lookout, I spotted two Ospreys flying close by. Here is one – Continue reading
Bob and myself travelled up to Kings Tableland to look at a number of Aboriginal art sites. Most of these were in caves on the side of a fairly remote ridge. But the walk was well worth it – as the art was amazing.
We visited five art sites during our visit.

I travelled up to Springwood with Sue and we headed down to Birdwood Gully to see what fungi we could find. After recent rain, I was quite hopeful that a lot would be out, but we were a bit disappointed.

Walking friend Judy had suggested a walk on this day, and I suggested the Forest Path in Royal National Park could be good. The weather was not too kind – we did have some light rain, but we had a pleasant time. We also found a reasonable amount of fungi out.
In our party was Judy, Sue, Valerie and Derek.
Here is some of the fungi we spotted along the Forest Path and also at Bola Creek. Continue reading

I found a reasonable amount out, including some waxcaps. Here is a selection of what I found – Continue reading
I attended the local bird survey along the Dulwich Hill section of The Greenway.
Rain was threatening, and we did have some light drizzle. Perhaps this was why it wa a bit quiet compared to previous surveys. Here are some of the birds we saw. Continue reading
