No bush walking jokes then Pablo? I'm disappointed in you
-
Yes! Worth a visit if only to picture the sign.

That's really frustrating. I've been trying and failing to get a picture of a white winged fairy-wren recently. I finally saw it close up today when I was walking the dog and didn't have my camera with me. -
Thanks. I spent ages following butterflies waiting for one to land near to the path so I wouldn't have to squash the tulips to be near enough.

Some parrots are. You see lots of galahs, often in huge flocks on a football feild for instance. These long billed corellas have a much more limited range (there are fewer of them) but in the right place, there might be 50 of them grazing on the lawn. Some of the white ones (little corellas) are in huge flocks and smother a group of trees or a huge patch of grass all at once and make a huge racket. -
Cape Range National Park, about 20km SW of Exmouth, WA. Slightly south of Shothole Canyon.

Lovely photo. -
Fabulous. Was it in an alfresco? Does it normally come that close to the house?
-
Also love this one. Again, how big was it and do you know what sort it is. I don't think I've seen one of those here. -
Another fab picture. Was it taken through a window? if not, how did you keep your camera dry? -
This is a great photo. How long was the lizard (it's hard to guage scale)? Have you any idea what sort it is? -
Lovely. How old is Monti? -
Beautiful. Fab picture. -
Lovely pictures

Gorgeous

Thank you. I love this osprey. He lives very nearby and I never get bored of seeing him and his partner.

According to my book they are common, but I've waited 7 months to see this! And he's supposed to be shy, but he was showing off out in the open for about 10 mins. I'd have tried to get a bit closer if he hadn't been strutting in a tiger snake sanctuary.

Part of Perth Arts festival (now ended). This was the 'Red Ball Project'. The ball appears at different venues on different days for about a month. It's a massive, squidgey foam filled ball. This one was at the Perth Council Office. It has been to several other cities in the past. I think it's going to one in the UK soon, possibly Manchester?? I'll definitely be using the pic for red nose day PomsInOz and Facebook.

These were at the Pinnacles desert on Sunday. This was a mother and 4 youngsters (just the 4 chicks in this pic). It had rained the day before and they were drinking from puddles in the rocks, and they let me get quite close. There are a few up near Yanchep too.

They are in Lighthouse park most days at the moment. About a mile NW of your house I think. And there are masses of them in Kings Park in Perth at the moment. They are lovely and they are easy to see, they don't fly off at the first sign of people, They let you get about 5 metres away.

It was close enough not to need the digital zoom, so it's much clearer than previous pics. There were 8 of them being very chattery
-
If only I had a more zoomy lens though! I'll have to advise everyone on PIO not to leave the UK until they've bought a decent camera. A cheap automatic doesn't do it justice. -
I've now found out that they don't have wild koalas anywhere in WA so you can only see them in captivity at the zoo, or wildlife park or in an enclosure like this. They live and eat in the trees, but the wardens bring in fresh young eucalyptus branches every day to supplement their feeding.

Look up Place des Anges on youtube for vids. It's amazing, really magical.
