A sad wallaby tale

Golden Whistler
It's lovely to see so many birds returning to the valley and this afternoon I spent an hour or so wandering around the gardens with the camera. Spotted this 'new' (for me) bird next to one of the bungalows and I am fairly sure it is a Golden Whistler, probably a female juvenile. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong). We have often seen Grey Whistlers here but I read that the Golden species normally inhabits higher rainforest although they sometimes come down to the coastal rainforest during winter.

... and here comes the Jade Vine
More and more of the Flame of the Forest is starting to bloom and now we are getting glimpses of aquamarine as the Jade Vine starts to open up. Both vines are well intermingled so it promises to be a beautiful display soon. In the next few weeks we should start to see more and more species of birds as spring approaches - already dozens of Rainbow Bee-eaters are having a great time swooping over the wetlands-dam chasing insects.
