An interesting day so far. The morning started well with Rainbow Bee-eaters heard flying over while I was hanging out washing, managed to see one high overhead, it was heading south.
 
Was then sent to the Ainslie shops, on the way I walk through Fisher Park, which has a small area with remnant native grassland vegetation and hosts the endangered, day-flying Golden Sun Moth. A couple of these were already out, quite early for them, normally they start appearing in November, although from memory they were flying early last year as well.
 
As I staggered back up our driveway with the shopping I found an Echidna trundling about. With some difficulty I managed to get it into a box and carried it out the back into Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve. While doing this I could hear White-browed and/or Masked Woodswallows overhead, didn't manage to see them, so don't know which species
 
 
cheers
Steve
