Hi Netters,
The last week has seen Swift Parrots in Devonport. On 4/1 nine landed in
the Peppercorn Tree in front of my home, 5/1 five flew over the home. Then 6/1
nine landed in the neighbours tree at the rear of my home. On Sunday 8/1 while
walking to the newsagent in town for my paper twelve landed in a flowering
eucalypt in the Catholic Church School. The bright red eucalypts in the area,
which I believe are from WA, are coming into bloom.
I have two colours of Kangaroo Paw in the garden and flowering prolific.
It was nice the see 14 New Holland H/E having a feed. Also on Sunday driving
through the nearby suburb of Latrobe to buy juicy cherries from the Cherry Barn
200+ Masked Lapwings covered the football ground.
All the Best
