In recent years over 1000 hectares of granite foothills be...

We were alerted by a couple Council chaps that an owl was being attacked by Ravens & Maggie's.

 The Owl managed to go into the paddock out back and the council boys caught it, and took it to the wild life person, Denise, and she took it home to recover.

 Phoned her last night an...

Weeks ago the female Golden Whistler paid us a visit but there was no sign of the male, until today, Monday 15th June 2015. As I was out side when he appeared I was only able to get one not so good shot.  After a short while, inside, sitting at the big window there he was again, he came right up to the window and posed, then as quick as he arrived he was gone.

Thanks to Joy Hick for these photos along the barrel drain walking track in Wedderburn. Spiny cheeked honeyeater and a group of white browed babblers, enjoying the pickings of the town greenery prior to the recent welcome rain.
