Hi everyone
Did some bush wandering in Garigal National Park, entrance from Douglas Street,
St. Ives (about 18km from Sydney GPO) at S
33° 43.592' E 151° 11.047', UTM Zone 56, Easting 56331871 Northing 62666671 and
60-145 metres altitude. Generally a heath on
sandstone area, and with a permanently running creek edged by taller trees,
this is a fantastic bushwalk through a variety of
habitats.
Much flowering Banksia ericifolia (gorgeous long orange cobs), some Lambertia
formosa and a little Darwinia fascicularis were
drawcards for honeyeaters, particularly heavily brown-flanked Tasmanian
Silvereyes, New Hollands, Yellow-faced and
White-cheeked Honeyeaters. Eastern Spinebills, Noisy Friarbirds and Little
Wattlebirds joined in.
Variegated Fairy-wrens were nice and a Common Scalyfoot was sunning itself.
Cheers and Happy Times with Nature
