Christmas 2008

I went down to Melbourne for Christmas to spend a week with my brother and his family.




Reese and soon to be sibling.


Lots of kangaroos only a few hundred metres from the house.

Lady Carrington Drive

Went for a walk to spot the flocks of Pacific Bazas that supposedly live on Lady Carrington Drive.
Did not see any Bazas but we did see a lot of other wildlife.


Flannel Flower Actinotus helianthi


Turtles


There were lots of monitors about, well at least the three that we saw.


Water dragon


Variegated Fairy-wren


An attempt at non-consensual mating by a Superb Lyrebird.


This one is actually in focus but you can't see the tail as well.
