Recently retired and at the moment living in Western Sydney. I have a long standing interest in the magical world of photography. Most photos taken with my post retirement new camera…[a Nikon Z8]….
A living xmas, in this case, bush. No need for an artificial tree with plastic ornaments in this persons front yard. West of Sydney and a sulphur-crested cockatoo. Happy sustainable holidays #granville #birds #xmastree

Part 1B Springtime chicks. Turkey chick is now a Turkey teen and it looks to be a good hunter, finding a huge juicy worm. I’m sure this bird will survive if it doesn’t get too tangled up with human activity. #brushturkey #parramatta #worms #birds They are getting fed bread in the park 😬

A Crested Pigeon and two Long-Bill Corellas in a Western Sydney park. These native birds are often fed bread by people in parks and city streets. Unfortunately bread lacks essential nutrients for a healthy diet which can lead birds to get sick.

Summer in Australia activates the snakes. This Carpet Python was discovered at the back door….a while ago a rat has been spotted under the house so a master rat catcher has turned up. The Python is non-venomous and subdues prey by constriction. #australia #rat #python #summerinaustralia #summer

Powerhouse museum transfer from Pyrmont to the flood plain of Parramatta River at Parramatta almost complete. The size and weight of the building should stop flood waters from sweeping it away however the basement will probably be inundated…. #parramatta #powerhouse #dharug

The milkcrate is almost built and ready for occupation. All the building needs now is a few finishing touch ups. #parramatta #dharug #powerhouse

Part 2 Springtime chicks…. a family of wood ducks, feeding peacefully on grass, are dive bombed, inexplicably, by a cranky magpie #parramatta #magpie #ducks

Spotted these dogs beside a river, I first thought they were wombats but I think they are dumped dogs. No sight of people… #namoi

Part 1 of springtime chicks……baby brush turkeys spotted in a western Sydney park. I thought it was a rat at first sight but a closer look #dharug #parramatta #brushturkey

While looking for fungi to upload to inatural I spotted a water dragon and a King Parrot. Even in the middle of a city, if given a chance, wildlife will survive. Always keep your eyes open…and not just to avoid being run over by a car.

Take a break and spend a few minutes outside this week looking for mushrooms, lichens, and other fungi near you! (And don't forget to let us know what you see by sharing your photos on iNaturalist. 🍄✨)

Some puppies have been dumped beside a river in a town North West of New South Wales…. I mentioned it to a council worker and a ranger will no doubt pick them up in due time. Unfortunately we all know what will happen if they cannot be homed! #namoi
