Potted python anyone?
Stepped out the back door this morning and glanced down in to one of the empty pot plant pots on the veranda, and there was a Carpet Python happily snoozing in the pot!

Who's this in the backyard eating our lawn?
Why it's our little Swamp Wallaby.
She's here most afternoons around dusk now. Clearly needing to really eat to help feed the joey.

On the driveway this morning, some very noisy Rainbow Lorikeets.
It seems the one on the left has a broken beak, but it didn't seem to be impeding its feeding.

Our little #SwampWallaby is back in our backyard this evening, and it looks like it might be a female with joey, given the bulging pouch. Can't tell for certain, but it appears that way.

We had our semi-regular Wallaby visitor in the backyard again this evening. It was /just/ light enough to get some shots (well two frames from 10 were usable - 1/40th sec, iso3200, Æ’/1.8 @ 200mm)

A couple of fairly common birds from my walk in to work this morning.
An Australian Magpie, and a Masked Lapwing.

And finally, a surprise fly-over by a Peregrine Falcon. I got one shot only, and this is a bit of a heavy crop, but enough of the colouring came through to confirm the ID.

While at least one of the male Variegated Fairywrens has come in to its full colours, this one has not yet got there. You can just see some of the blue coming in to the head, but it'll be a week or two before this one is in breeding plumage.

Bonus #bird for the afternoon, since it was outside in front of the veranda a couple of minutes ago calling.
It is a #NoisyFriarbird and when it is calling, definitely lives up to its name.

In this early spring weather we're having at the moment, the Variegated Fairywrens and Brown Thornbills are becoming quite a regular occurrence around my yard.
Shown here, we have both the female and male #VariegatedFairywren and a #BrownThornbill up close (so close I had to take a step back to get it in focus).

A Tree Martin takes a rare moment to perch. These guys were nesting in the small hollows of a very large Wandoo tree.

Here's another stunner showing off at the #BotanicalGardens ... and its another from Western Australia.
Please enjoy these delightful flattened, round spikey purple coneflowers (isopogon cuneatus - family Proteaceae).

From today's walk down by Fennel Bay (Lake Macquarie, NSW AU): about 40 little black cormorants sitting along a small jetty, with a great egret standing in the water nearby. There's actually a little pied cormorant in amongst them, hard to see that in the low quality photos!

I'm not sure I have ever seen (noticed) this plant belore. The Qualup Bell (pimelea physodes) with its delicate leaves and soft, gentle colours is so pretty!!
Please enjoy!

Short walk on campus today. Not much about in the middle of the day, but here are some #NoisyMiner s having a drink, a #LaughingKookaburra just sitting around on a branch, an #EasternWaterDragon sunning itself on the lawn, and the underside of a #RainbowLorikeet
