We have a very small garden with a limited range of
plants, banksia,correa and a favourite with all species that visit is a tall New
Zealand tree with pink flowers which go into large seed pods. The large pines
next door are now providing refuge for a raven and Grey Butcherbird, which are
unusual for us. We have a narrow overlook of Port Phillip Bay - hence the lack
of plant variety, due to salt and wind storms. I have been surprised to
regularly see silvereyes still visiting, and two only New Holland
Honeyeaters.
Today we had a swan flying over from the middle of the
bay somewhere, headed we assume for our nearby wetlands. Another surprise for us
this week was to see a pair of kestrel hovering over the foreshore grass
here.
If only one had more time to just gaze out the window
there could be more surprises.
