Further to the comment that Benj made on 26 June re a lot of flower
this year, many of the planted Ironbarks in Summerland Circuit, Kambah
are in flower, some yellow, some red and others pink. Heaps of Red
Wattlebirds in them. I also saw an urban Red Box Eucalyptus
polyanthemos in flower this afternoon, which is a little early in
the year. And last time I was at the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, I think
in June, there were many different Eucalypts in flower, with various
species of honeyeaters feeding in good numbers.
I also wanted to let subscribers to this line know about a project I
have been working on over the past three months - the link to Canberra
birds being that it is a photographic collection of remnant Eucalypts
in Canberra. I have commenced with the woodland trees (melliodora and
blakelyi) but plan to add others as time permits. There is the odd
bird in some of the photos, but not many. The link is:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/eucalyptus_melliodora/ and I welcome any
feedback and advice on the location of any remnant trees that I can add
to the collection.
Regards
Matthew Frawley
