Two more walks

The first walk was a revisit to Poo Pits 2.  When we first went there it seemed to have quite a lot of shrubs in flower and we expected that to have continued.  In fact there seemed to be less diversity than our last visit.  Here are some photos - a difficulty was that the light wasn't good and there were sufficient mosquitoes around to make standing still unpleasant.

This is definitely a Pimelea and the ovate leaves indicate P. humilis.

Acacia genistifolia

A. suaveolens

Definitely Hibbertia and the leaves fit closest to H. acicularis.

Hakea decurrens,  This is the standard white form ..

.. and this is the pinker version (which I don't think is just ageing).

No idea on this one.  Due to the mozzies I didn't compose the image so as to include some leaves.

Dampiera stricta.

The second walk was at Shipwreck Creek.  On our way there I couldn't resist a photo of a White-bellied Sea-Eagle at the Betka River,

Here is the route we followed at Shipwreck Creek.

Acacia suaveolens (again)

A. myrtifolia

Comesperma ericinum

Dillwynnia sericea.  This was pretty common although the shrubs were only sparsely flowered.

I am unsure of this.  Other than Dillwynnia the only 'egg and bacon' bean listed for Heath is Sphaerolobium minus which sort of matches but the picture shows tufts of flowers.

A Persoonia.  From the shape of the leaves, possibly P. linearis

Tetratheca sp.

Leucopogon virgatus.

Dampiera stricta (again)

I have resisted taking photos of the Epacris impressa as it is so common.  However the colour on this specimen earned it a few thousand pixcels.

With the leaves in a rosette this was Coronidium scorpioides

My best match for this was Leptorhyncos nitidulus, based mainly on the leaves coming up the stem.

A spiffy web full of dew (at about 1345)!

Shipwreck Creek' close to where the track rejoins Betka Rd.  Several mosquitoes discouraged stopping for long.
