There are magpies everywhere. This one lived by the beach, quite a long way from my home.
I love a duck

Thanks Audrey for this comment. The top two ducks are Australian Grey Teal, below is a Pacific Black Duck. I hope they won’t get blown away- soon to be fair game: Duck Season open – 8am on Wednesday 26 May 2021-Season close – 30 minutes after sunset on Monday 14 June 2021. Daily bag limit of five game ducks per day for the entire season.
I too, hope they survive.

Cute Koala

My last Koala picture. This time I found one awake and looking interested in me! He was very happy to pose for me and a collection of other passer-bys who looked up in the direction of my lens.

In amongst the seagulls was one black bird, a Sooty Oyster catcher, I think. Seen while on a short break to the seaside.

Took this picture of a koala in Warrnambool. He was hiding in a gum tree eating leaves.

Lantana
April 9, 2021
I love the smell of Lantana. I also love the flowers. In Australia it’s widely regarded as a nasty invasive weed. No wonder. Mine has just exploded with growth. It’s huge. I have only one plant and it hasn’t spread to anywhere nearby. I Prune it savagely to keep it under control. It’s well away from livestock. Apparently its poisonous. How can something so beautiful, have so many negative aspects?
