| 14/2/07 | Sat 10/2 7pm About 10 Australian gannets could be seen out to sea quite some way wheeling and diving their white showing up clearly against the blue sea. Lots of kangaroos, up to 5 at a time, on our front lawn area eating grass brought from the orchard or drinking from a bowl. Guests absolutely enthralled at such a close view of wild animals, together with the usual wallabies. Mon 12/2 8am Guests enjoyed watching the birds coming down to drink at the pool at the back of the house not far from the dining room glass door, especially the Crimson Rosella pairs. Tues 13/2 The birds which feed on our front lawn do not like a roaming goanna spending time checking out the holes on the top of the bank that the house is built on! Wed 14/2 7.30pm It looks like the goanna might have made one hole into a home as we watched it climb in while enjoying a quiet drink in our greenhouse. Thurs 15/2 8.30am The bird bath in contiuous activity for 5mins as Superb Fairy Wrens then Beautiful Firetails then a Scarlet Robin then Fairy wrens again took turns to splash and flap. Every day while it is so dry we are continuing to see so much wildlife, kangaroos, wallabies, various birds during the day at any time looking for water. We need to keep topping up the water points a number of times a day. |
| 31/1/07 | The days here continue to be sunny and beautiful, we were very thankful for the rain last week, it at least watered the garden. The animals around us are staying quite close now. We are seeing kangaroos and wallabies in the middle of the day resting in the shade around the house. I think they are probably trying to conserve energy and stay close to where they know there is food and water. Needless to say the garden is looking well and truly eaten!! |
| 17/1/07 | Yesterday our guests went down to the summer sandy beach and saw a 2 metre shark and a large stingray. Later Alex and David had a swim about midday and also saw the stingray as well as 3 pied cormorants. We tried fishing off whiting rock without success, then went to snapper point where we caught leather jackets, rock cod and a zebra fish. |
| 2/1/07 | Took our guests down to our summer sandy beach yesterday morning for a delightful swim and we saw 2 Sooty Oyster Catchers, a Pied Cormorant and a Silver Gull to add to our bird list. There were numerous Little Penguin burrows behind the beach area including one where feathers had recently been moulted. Earlier in the day a Sea Eagle was spotted out over the sea. Now that our dam has gone dry we will be filling our little pond in front of the house with water. After filling this morning there were 3 kangaroos drinking there within an hour! |
