A little bit of wildlife

I went for a quick wander in lane cove national park yesterday again. Once you get off the main tracks there are some very nice areas.
There was quite a lot of wild life around but I only managed a mediocre photo of a Variegated Fairy-wren (Malurus lamberti).

BBQ and not much else.

Not a lot has been happening lately we had a BBQ at the in laws and NZ hasn't choked yet although there is still plenty of time for that.

Ku-ring-gai chase national park

Now that we only live 15 mins drive from Ku-ring-gai chase national park it would be rude not to visit reasonably often. It is a fairly crowded park but no worse than the royal and if you walk a bit you can quickly get away from the crowds.

A birthday party and other things

A couple of weeks ago we went to Jessica's birthday party. It was good to see Di and Dans new place and I managed to convince Iain, Paul and Emily to walk there through lane cove national park.
In the shot below Iain demonstrates how to cross a raging ford just like Bear Grylls.

The theme was cowboys and indians and claire did her bit with a token feather.

In other matters our sterile flat finally gained some wildlife in our sterile yard.
