   Every day, I walk in Lane Cove National Park and each of these days brings something new. Come with me on my daily adventures. Its amazing what we will see. These Tawny Frogmouth are well known to the area, but I had never come across them so I was super excited when I received a messaged to let me know that they were in the tree on Fiddens Wharf Oval. I ducked down and could barely see them. It's only that I knew they were there that I persisted. A lovely couple. The one on my left would occasionally peck at the other and she would snuggle him right back. Adorable! This guy was very curious about what I was up to but after an hour, he felt comfortable enough to tuck his head in and fall asleep. Just as well, my son had decided he was coming to dinner and as it was 6pm, I needed to get home.  THE AUTHOR My Curious Camera is professional portrait photographer, Nina Beilby.

You know, warm summer rain that brings that sticky humidity. The bush feels more like a rain forest than dessert at the moment. Probably something to with  La Niña . Anyhow, the good thing about that is that most Australians tend to stay inside the minute there is a drop of rain so I had the bush to myself today. Always a good thing when you are tracking birds.  The Lorikeets are really enjoying the summer Banksia blooms at the moment. Trouble is, they are very noisy as they go about their business so you have to really listen and tune in to other birds. The Fairy Wrens love to play. They are delightful to watch and never fail to make me smile. I'm not certain of the species so if you know, feel free to drop me a line. If I find out, I'll update this post so stay tuned. Th...
