persephone Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 A day of no sun (thankfully) but one of much dust and gusty wind, bringing on much sneezing and as much staying indoors as I can ! Pic taken at lunchtime just near the house .(with Clive for scale) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Terrible photographs taken at full zoom from the verandah of the homestead last evening ...I was walking, and caught the movement of something in the river!When I looked, I thought a kangaroo had swum across, as they sometimes do. When I watched, I noticed this roo was in the water to access the reeds growing there!It would grab the top part of the reed, bend it over and chew away ...wade/swim to the next, and so on. It exited the water just after I grabbed these few shots, sadly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Not terrible - the colour of the light is beautiful (despite the stinking hot dusty reason for it). Plus it's an unusual behaviour documented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 There are too many images of sheep looking at the sunset to think they are not actually looking at the sunset rather than gazing vacantly into space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 For a change from being so down about so much - just before Covid was upon us I had decided life would be better with a couple of peacocks posing around. I was offered a 'lend' of two very special ones, a pied girl and a white boy, whose home had been caught up in the bushfires. These are loosely under what with dogs we call breeder's terms, it doesn't have a name with poultry, not common. Then had the offer of two pairs at a low price as the owners had sold the farm and they had to be off the property urgently. Then was offered ten chicks only if I could take the ten - I only had room for six, but found a home for the other four. So suddenly I had twelve peacocks, another case of be careful what you wish for. Then Covid happened and I wasn't up to taking photos or much thinking of anything but CoronaVirus. This is the pied girl, who needs a name. and the white boy, who will be stunning when his tail/train is full size in spring (they moult their long tales every year). He also needs a name. And the Pea-chicks: growing fast, about half-size now and starting to get some colour. Two male and four female, that was lucky odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Today I unearthed the camera , after the corona shock ... found some euros (of course ) and a little red! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Is that a little mist of green grass? That's about what we have and it is so welcome. Just need another nice fall to back it up before it dries off. The euros will appreciate it, I was just looking at the "asparagus hay" shot. Oh and thanks, Cleo it is - I mean she is. This little fellow was snuffing around before the drop of rain, I hope it encouraged some ants to the surface for him to find a meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
