Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan

10,000 Birds

On the first trip in 2012 we used public transport to get there and the train conveniently gets you to Macarthur Square shopping centre and you can then get a bus that drops you right at the entrance to the park. We also had Eastern Whipbirds hopping along the edge of the road tossing the leaf litter about in search of food.

Blue-winged Pitta in Singapore

10,000 Birds

Windsor Nature Park is easily accessible by public transport and there are several walk trails of varying length. When the leaf litter is damp you won’t hear any leaf rustling, so you are entirely dependent on a little bit of colourful movement. You may get a chance to observe a Blue-winged Pitta !

Falakhe’s Story

10,000 Birds

The day before, the day I arrived, was a transport day, and that meant the pack hadn’t been seen in the afternoon. Falakhe is still alive, as is the dominant male in his litter. I got in touch with Pippa last week, because I was writing this but had forgotten Fala’s name. I didn’t need to.

Sassafras Gully Loop

10,000 Birds

We searched for walks that started and ended near public transport, as we were going to get a ticket- MyMulti 3 -that would let us travel wide and far unrestricted each week. Ferns were prominent and it was very easy to walk quietly due to all of the damp leaf litter. The gully was really quite steep in places. In the gully!

Perth Hills National Parks

10,000 Birds

Around the picnic area at the weir the Galahs were busy on the ground feeding and the ground was also littered with the tips of the trees. It is always good to visit Herdsman Lake in Perth, which is easily accessible by public transport, but if you have a vehicle it is definitely worth a drive out to the Perth Hills.

Kermie

Animal Person

Before I could even process his presence and figure out what to do, I heard the scrapes of Emily’s paws on her litter box in the guest room bathroom. Outside he went, transported in plastic, back to his home in the wilds of suburban West Palm Beach. Lucky for Kermie, she was otherwise occupied.
