Primarily a set of photographs from walking out 1 km and back.
This is a snap of the track in situ.The Dusty Miller (Spyridium parvifolium), which usually teases us with the 'dusty' leaves which look like flowers, now actually has flowers.
The only 'pea' around is still Platylobium parviflorum - a name with more meaningful syllables than most.
Correa reflexa was present in fair amount.
This wattle had me confused for a while as the flower spikes seemed unusually lush. However I suspect that was because it was Acacia longifolia longofolia rather that the usual subspecies closer to the beach A. l. sophorae.
Acacia suavolens.
Acacia oxycedrus
Acacia ulicifolia
Quite a lot of Leucopogon parviflorus (what is it about "parvi ..." names?) in flower and getting attention from a honeybee ...
... and some member of the order Diptera!
A profusely flowering bush.
Hakea decurrens
Tetratheca ciliata (uncertain about species)
Dampiera stricta
Xanthosia pilosa
A relatively fresh Banksia man (Banksia serrata).Some sort of gum tree, quite a distance off and the flowers about 15m up so ???
The red arrow points to an indicator stick suggested that a fox has had a meal it will (briefly) regret.
Very pleased with this picture of a White-throated Treecreeper at a nest hollow. I saw one bird go in and out twice and a second bird also flew out. The first eBird breeding record for the species.
This hollow should be used by something, and there looks to be a bit of wear at the entrance. But who knows what it is.
