Apologies
… I missed what is now the most popular suggestion – three people suggest carp
along the lines of Margaret Leggoe’s pic. Thanks for the responses, it will be
interesting to see what Tim the Yowie man makes of it. The amended list is
now….
3 x
carp with possible attached bubbles
2 x
bubbles
2 x
tortoises
1 x
platypus
1 x
snake
1 x
heads of young grebes
1 x
eels

[canberrabirds] What might this be? (Slightly bird
related)
On the smallest of
Callum Brae’s dams was a nesting Australasian Grebe. As I was
photographing it close to its nest, quite suddenly the 5 to 7 bumps shown in the
photos appeared nearby. They/it didn’t appear like bubbles, seemed solid, all
the same size and didn’t burst or disintegrate like bubbles. They appeared
to be parts of one thing, like the Lock Ness monster. The Grebe turned to
look at this thing and by 7 seconds later it/they disappeared, though I didn’t
see in what manner.
Does anyone have
any idea what it/they could be? The pale thing in the foreground is a
leaf.
