Birds in the carpark

I saw Rufous-banded Honeyeaters (Conopophila albogularis) and Double-barred Finches (Taeniopygia bichenovii) near my car.

Seen together

I had not seen the Curlews as a pair all week, so was delighted this morning when this one came running towards me hissing.

Our porch companions

There are always at least half a dozen of these geckos on our front porch.

New look for Hugh

Not sure about the new haircut that Hugh had! I guess it's cool,I shaved my beard off so I shouldn't comment.

Hughies first week

This is Hugh's first week as a guide at the Territory Wildlife Park.

Frog at home

This little frog was on one of the pushbikes.

Sunday Stokes Hill Wharf

Stokes Hill Wharf is a great place for a casual meal or an ice cream.

Still nesting OK?

This Curlew is still in place on the nest in the garden of the ANU facility near one of the car parks , but I still have not seen its partner all week.

Mindil Beach Sunset Market over until May 2008

I had a quick trip to a very crowded Mindil Beach Sunset Market now finished until May 2008.

It was a huge crowd, and car parking was difficult so I left early
to avoid traffic jams,especially after the fireworks later.

Evening at the waterfront

With Hughie's London based girl-friend Keira, now in Darwin. we enjoyed an evening meal at The Jetty at Stokes Hill Wharf Precinct.

Crocodile in the library...

The CDU Practice Firms were having a 10th Anniversary Trade Fair and Pre- Xmas sales and offered photo taking with a live crocodile.

A walk through the car park

As I was bringing one of my cameras in today I snapped a few shots on campus. I took this shot with a long lens, only to be told a few minutes later by a colleague that there was a domestic cat under my car, I hope this Curlew is safe as I have not seen its mate for a few days!


I then changed my lens to wide angle for these shots of the library building.
