There’s a new Heron in town, more specifically, Candie Gardens. I know it’s a different visitor because one, it freaks out whenever anyone gets close and hides in trees and two, its got both eyes. The older Heron’s left eye was missing.

A juvenile Cormorant sat, seemingly unfazed, on the edge of the pond in Saumarez Park. I was able to get extremely close to this one for some reason, even the screaming kids on bikes didn’t bother it. Great for me as it meant I could creep up and get as close as I could. I love the blue eyes in these birds.

A surprise find in the garden as I was clearing leaves before mowing. I’ve got no idea how it got into the garden as there’s no gap anywhere that’s big enough for a frog. The only explanation I can think of is a bird dropping it in. I let him find a new hiding place for now but I’ll release him near a pond tomorrow.

Annual ornamental grasses which grow in abundance around the coast. For obvious reasons it gets is name form the similarities to the furry cotton tails of rabbits.

Just for fun, being out with the camera and a one sided conversation with a cow.

It’s black and its a bird. I guess they’d run out of ideas when trying to name this species.
