On 11 September we did a loop around Betka, mainly to check the Caladenia (Arachnorchis) tentaculata growing on the Chip Track. We started by descending the steps to the beach. The sea was quite flat allowing this boat to move right along.
An interestingly patterned fungus.
There were many
Pterostylis curta along the sandhills - presumably where the woodchips were laid.
It is relatively unusual to see an Eastern Reef Egret and a Great Egret in the same field of view.
We found two colonies of
Caladenia tentaculata. This is from the main colony just after the small bridge where there are many fully open flowers.
A second colony is under some Meleleuca where the track drops down to the River. They are still in bud.
We extended our walk a little into the heathland and found some specimens of
Prasophyllum elatum which seems to be behaving as the genus is known to do, in growing vigorously after fire.
A small moth paused and got photographed. I have no idea of its identification.
This is
Pelargonium australe which is included because it looks pretty!
