Blowing Bubbles – Garden Guests
.gif&w=566&h=133&zc=1)
I captured this fly blowing bubbles in my garden recently and was fascinated. I couldn’t help but wonder why he was doing it. After a little bit of research on the internet, there doesn’t seem to solid evidence to suggest why. Does anyone have any information on this? Blowing Bubbles – Garden Guests
Young Galahs boldly introduce themselves! – Garden Guests Diary
If you’ve been following my blog, you will already be aware that my husband & I have been feeding the native birds for a few years now. Recent new guests who have been coming down for some tucker have been three juvenile galahs with their parents. We have never seen young galahs in our yard until now so it is...
Garden Guests Diary – Magpie and her Youngster
It’s a wet and windy New Year’s Eve afternoon and this weather always brings down more birds to our garden. Today, I enjoyed watching a magpie feed one of her youngsters.
Garden Guests Diary – Cheeky Cockatoo

Walk in IndigiScapes
After recently buying a new camera and keen to try it out, I went for a walk in the IndigiScapes, near my home, which is a 14.5ha environmental site for indigenous plants and has three walking tracks including a rainforest, wetland and creek vegetation garden.
Garden Guests Diary – Midnight Feast
We were visited by a family of possums last night who came down to eat the fruit we had put in the tray earlier in the day. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the baby possum on the mother’s back. The youngster clinged to the mother’s back most of the time, snuggling in...
