Flinders Ranges…….Brachina Gorge Drive

Dear Reader:

Male and Female Red Kangaroos; animals well adapted to dry outback conditions

A male and female Red Kangroo watch me intently as I drive along the sealed road from Wilpena towards Brachina Gorge; (Derived from the Adnyamathanha word Vachina meaning grumpy) At the entrance to the gorge a signpost denotes the beginning of a significant geological experience.

Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby resting on mudstone sedimentary layer

About three kilometres along the track I notice a Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby sitting on a sloping sedimentary cliff face. Its subtle colouring blends perfectly with the surrounding dry grass and rocks.

Brachina Gorge trail from a higher vantage point

I am driving deeper into Brachina, one of the most fascinating gorges in Australia. A place where one encounters rocks, fossils and landscapes that date back millions of years and is home to the Adnyamathanha people who have inhabited this region for over 50000 years.

Information signs mark significant geological formations and careful observation reveals the wealth of animal and plant life along this South Australian trail.

The winter has been wet and there are extensive patches of greenery which attracts a variety of birds. Galahs and Ringneck Parrots feed in the trees and grassy areas. High in the sky, I can also see Wedge Tailed Eagles and Kites spiralling on thermals in search of prey or carrion.

In an area where another watercourse enters the gorge a mob of Emus is foraging. I move a little closer to them and use the telephoto to get a closer look. The group consists of an adult male and subadult chicks. Females mate and lay eggs but do not rear the chicks.

As I near the end of the gorge I notice a small mob of roos deep in the scrub. Winding down the windows and leaving the car idling, I focus on an adult with a joey at heel. Just as I am about to take my shot something alerts them and they bound away through the bush.

I exit the gorge on the main road to Leigh Creek and head north to the iconic Prairie Hotel around 25 Kms north to indulge in a uniquely Australian cuisine. From there, I can return to my chalet in Wilpena Pound back through Brachina, through the nearby Parachilna Gorge or the Moralana track…..all fascinating drives steeped in natural history both biological, geological and cultural.

Cheers

Baz

Mylor Conservation Park…… part 2 Wildlife

19 Oct

Dear Reader

There is a Galah perched by a nesting hole in the old, dead gum tree. The bird is holding a sprig of Eucalyptus leaves in its beak. This behaviour can be associated with both nest building and courtship.

This is the second of my visits to Mylor Conservation Park and my focus is on the animal life though a plethora of native plants still bloom around me.

The canopy of the park is dominated by tall Stringybark trees with bushes grasses and low flowering plants below. I can hear a wide variety of bird calls but locating and photographing them is difficult.

My ‘go to’ technique in this situation is to find a well-hidden location, sit quietly and wait. On my first try I am rewarded when a lovely Striated Thornbill makes an appearance on a distant tree branch. A good test for the telephoto capabilities of my Sony RX10.

Laughing Kookaburra (image taken in nearby bushland)

I walk further along the trail and catch fleeting glimpses of Tree Creepers, Pardalotes, Laughing Kookaburras and Red-browed Finches. All too fast or too distant to photograph.

As the afternoon sun wanes in the shadows of the forest, I decide to concentrate on the smaller animals around me and employ the camera’s macro-photography capability. My first target is a prominent termite mound enveloped by wattle bushes.

Further into the scrub, I notice a Meat Ant nest and watch them swarming around the area in search of prey. In direct contrast to their colonial behaviour I spot a Bulldog Ant, a solitary hunter, though it too belongs to a colony.

My final foray into the world of insects, spiders and other small invertebrates is an intricately patterned Ennominae moth resting amongst the leaf litter.

It has been a rewarding walk and an interesting follow up to my previous excursion focussing on plant life. Once again I will finish my day with an afternoon snack at Verte Kitchen in Mylor.

Cheers

Baz

Mylor Conservation Park, Part 1, Wildflowers and More

29 Sep

Dear Reader:

I climb over the entrance style into the park. There is a light drizzle but I have a waterproof cover for the Sony RX10 camera if needed. I can hear the twittering of wrens and the camera is poised to shoot.

However, it is not wildlife which first catch my eye but wildflowers. Being the very end of winter, I was not expecting flora to be on my photographic menu. Nevertheless, a delicate Shrub Violet surrounded by native grasses is the first image I capture.

There is a short path leading down to a creek bed and a quick scan of the scrub on both sides reveals sufficient flowers to change the emphasis of my afternoon to plants rather than animals.

Apart from the bright yellow wattles which typically bloom this time of year, there are bright red heaths, subtle pink bell-shaped blossoms and delicate candle shaped plants.

When I search for animals in the bush, I am always drawn to predators as they seem to lead the most interesting lives. However, plants can also be predatory and the delicate, little sundews (Drosera) have sticky centres to trap insects which they then absorb for their nutrient value.

As I walk through the bush, with its dense understory and towering Stringybarks, I can hear a variety of birdsong. I catch glimpses of wrens, finches and honeyeaters in the trees and bushes but they are too quick to photograph and today it is overcast making the job doubly difficult.

It is starting to drizzle and time to seek shelter and a coffee at Verte Kitchen in Mylor. However, I shall definitely return another day to try and capture some animal images in this lovely, little conservation park……….to be continued

Cheers

Baz

Houseboat Reflections Kings Billabong, Mildura part 1

21 Aug

Dear Reader:

With the houseboat safely secured and lunch over; it is time for a walk into the bush.

I scan the dry leaf litter for signs of life. A locust moves just enough for me to locate it while a colourful butterfly lands amongst the leaves. It is well camouflaged when still with wings upright, easily seen when it spreads them.

Following the track across an open space I hear the call of Red-rumped Parrots up ahead. They are gathered around a depression filled with water from recent rains. As I approach, they fly into the trees.

Classic channel in Kings Billabong wetland

The track meets one of King Billabong’s many channels then branches along the waterway in both directions. I turn right scratching a marker into the soft earth. It is easy lose direction in this kind of environment.

A Brown Treecreeper moves quickly along the branches of a nearby tree probing the bark for insects. The little bird scurries down the trunk and peers at me for a few seconds before taking flight.

I sit for a while and watch the grassy scrub. There is a small group of White-plumed Honeyeater flitting around between the branches and I manage to catch one feeding a juvenile while another watches from the trees.

There is enough water in the billabong for both Anhingas (Snakebirds, Darters) and Pied Cormorants to fish for Carp, Frogs and other aquatic prey. Both species must leave the water periodically to dry out their wings as they do not have the protective oils that many seabirds possess.

Native flower along the track (Wahlenbergia species)

Along the edge of the track there are a few native flowers blooming and I stop to photograph a small purple blossom which I later identify as a Wahlenbergia species………………….to be continued

Around Myponga Beach Part 2

5 Aug

Dear Reader:

There are Adelaide Rosellas feeding on the weeds growing in the creek bed while a Galah and Sulphur-crested Cockatoo perch high in a River Gum watching me intently.

As I exit the creek on my drive from Myponga Beach (see my previous post) I climb up the steep unpaved road stopping at a couple sites to admire the view across the steep valleys towards the ocean.

Along the road there are several dilapidated, old buildings and other structures such as stone water tanks, all remnants the Fleurieu’s colonial history. And, for those with a geological eye, some of the truncated sedimentary layering is quite interesting.

Scanning the hillside with the powerful Nikon P900 lens, I notice the diminutive shape of a Red Fox scurrying across the steep terrain. Both sheep and cattle are also grazing on the hillsides.

There are wattles and bottlebrushes along the roadside and I notice Singing Honeyeaters feeding and nesting in the area.

Several kilometres further along Sampson Road, I take a branch road leading to the Myponga Reservoir. The views from the observation area and car park are fabulous.

There are various honeyeater species including Wattlebirds in this area and I can just make out a Western Grey Kangaroo in the valley below the dam.

I drive back to Sampson Road then turn right to intersect South Road where I can head back to the city or into the little township of Myponga with its charming Smiling Samoyed Microbrewery, tempting bakery and reserve.

Cheers

Baz

Around Myponga Beach…….Part 1

13 Jul

Dear Reader:

As I drive along the unsealed road, I notice Welcome Swallows hawking for insects in the fields. Several birds are resting on the strands of barbed wire between their sorties. I slow the car, drop the window and take a quick shot.

I am travelling along Myponga Beach Road towards the little township of the same name. Australian Magpies are sitting on fenceposts and a flight of Rosellas takes flight from the fringing scrub as I pass by them.

From the road I notice that the tide is receding exposing a sandy beach and rock-strewn mudflats on either side of the little estuary where a small creek empties into the ocean. A mixed flock of Silver Gulls and Common Terns are camped on the beach and I can see a pair of Cormorants fishing further out to sea.

Today, I am just making a preliminary drive through the area but I do stop to photograph an extensive tidal pool which stretches back towards the surrounding hills.

After exiting the town on Sampson Road, which will eventually take me back to the Main South Road, I stop at the foot of a steep climb where are gully traverses the road. River Gums mark the path of this ephemeral watercourse and as I slow the VW Tiguan and engage 4WD to splash through some muddy water.

White-throated Honeyeater probing gum tree for insects and grubs

I hear a variety of bird calls and park the vehicle where I can easily scan the trees for birds with the telephoto. It doesn’t take too long to spot two species of parrots; a Galah and Adelaide Rosella, as well as White-throated Honeyeater.

Birds are not the only animals in this fertile section of scrub. There are several ant species on the trees and I spot a Marbled Gecko in a hollowed out branch.

After the creek, the road starts to climb steeply…………to be continued.

Cheers

Baz

Mount Compass School Swamp Part 2

11 Jun

Dear Reader:

A raptor flies low across the swamp, landing carefully amongst the branches of a Tea Tree. It scans the area quickly then takes off again. I capture a quick image. Review it briefly: realising that I must do a little more research to make an accurate identification.

Boardwalk merging into a nearby pine plantation

I am revisiting the Compass School Swamp and carefully moving along the boardwalks in search of more animals living in this unique environment.

The intense colour of the ferns coupled with the contrasting shades of Tea Trees and grasses create truly beautiful images as well as a fertile food source for numerous animals in this important Fleurieu swamp.

Where branches protrude from the sea of ferns, small birds perch and call to announce territory and as a sighting point to hunt for flying insects. On this walk I spot Red-browed Finches, Superb Fairy Wrens and New Holland Honeyeaters.

European Goldfinch shot at extreme distance

Further along the boardwalk, I notice a brightly coloured bird atop a dead branch. At first, I think it is a honeyeater species, but closer examination through the powerful telephoto of my Nikon P900, reveals a European Goldfinch. An introduced species.

As noted in my last article, Southern Grass Skinks often bask on the path and there are Kangaroos and livestock in the adjacent fields as well as small groups of Sulphur Crested and Red-tailed Black cockatoos flying overhead.

Today, my final destination is not the bakery nor a nearby hotel for lunch; however tempting that might be. Instead, I have arranged to visit the studio and gallery of a local artist, John Lacey, who lives on the outskirts of the town. Much of his work features the Fleurieu Peninsula and I know he sometimes uses photography as an initial part of his artistic process.

On leaving his studio, I make one final image of a Silvereye perched in the dormant branches of a tree in John’s yard. A lovely way to finish my day at Mount Compass.

Cheers

Baz

Mount Compass’s Unique, Little Swamp…..Part 1

25 May

Dear Reader:

At first, I think it is a Dragonfly, but the wings look more slender and the legs longer. It seems that I have photographed my first Scorpionfly.

The Mount Compass School Swamp is one of several, remaining and rare, freshwater swamps on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Unlike many other wetlands they do not dry out over the summer months These swamps are a refuge for numerous threatened species of plants and animals.

Looking back along a section of the boardwalk towards the school

Numerous interpretive signs along the boardwalk explain the importance of swamps, their care and the animals and plants found in this environment.

I am strolling along a boardwalk established by the local area school. It meanders through thick growths of Coral Fern, Tea-tree and native grasses.

There are finches, wrens and other small birds continuously calling and flitting between the verdant layer of ferns and low shrubs. They are hard to photograph but eventually I manage to capture a few images of Silvereyes and Superb Fairy Wrens.

As I scan the flowering Tea Tree bushes for smaller animals, I notice a small striped beetle crawling along a branch. Later, using ‘I Naturalist’, I discover that it is species of Soldier Beetle.

Insects are not the only small inhabitants of this swamp. Small lizards scamper across the boardwalk at regular intervals. Finally, one stops long enough for a quick-fire image. I think they are Water Skinks but later research shows they are Southern Grass Skinks which also like boggy ground.

The pastureland around the swamp is an ideal environment for other less fragile species and near the enclosing fenceline I spot a group of Western Grey Kangaroos, some Straw-necked Ibises and a flock of Galahs.

I have spent a couple of hours exploring the swamp and it is time to head back to the adjacent township of Mount Compass for coffee and a bakery delight.

Cheers

Baz

Karkoo: Cockatoos and Cocktails

28 Apr

Dear Reader

As I park car in the shade of some Plane trees, I notice a small group of Rose-breasted Cockatoos (Galahs) feeding on the fruits. They are manipulating them with their claw-like feet to get at the seeds inside.

I am spending the morning at Karkoo Plant Nursery in the hills’ town of Oakbank, about a half hour drive from Adelaide’s CBD. This charming nursery has been developed around the old Johnston Brewery. It is a blend of indoor and outdoor plants, clothing and gifts as well as old buildings and artefacts complete with informative signage.

Nurseries are often great places to find insects, even at this time of year. Honeybees are feeding on many different blossoms. It takes a while but eventually I discover a Blue-banded Bee, a native species, feeding on a Salvia.

Superb fairy Wren often called a Blue Wren

Near front of the nursery there is some old farm machinery. A Magpie lands on the woodwork providing a characteristically Australian image. Several Sperb Fairy Wrens are flitting around the grassy paddock behind the Magpie.

As the Magpie flies into a nearby Eucalyptus Tree another bird flies out. I scan the tree carefully with the powerful lens of the Nikon P900 and quickly locate a nest. I focus tightly on the nest and wait. Eventually a head pops over the scruffy bundle of twigs.

In a nearby tree an Adelaide Rosella perches on a dead branch. These beautiful birds are a regional version of the Crimson Rosella.

It is time for a bite to eat in the rustic-styled dining area and there is a comprehensive menu ranging from light snacks to gourmet lunches complemented with a wide selection of beverages including wines, ciders, beer and cocktails.

Cheers

Baz

Springton’s Wildlife Wonders part 2

12 Apr

Continued from Blog 254

Dear Reader….

……Looking further across the field I notice a long dead tree with a small flock of Australian Magpies perched along a skeletal branch. A rather picturesque and haunting image.

I use the GPS for location confirmation when writing notes and taking photographs

Climbing back into my car I scan the GPS for the next intersecting road which happens to be French’s Road. This in turn leads on to Potts Hill Road where there is a green section indicating a park, wetland or other natural feature.

On the way to the junction, I pass a small dam typical of those found on hills’ properties. Using the extreme range of my P900 I recognise Maned Ducks, Eurasian Coots and a single Hoary-headed Grebe on the water.

For the next kilometre the road has wild roses growing on the verge while curious Angus Cattle meander towards the fence-line. I slow to a stop and enjoy their inquisitive company.

Adelaide Rosella a variety of Crimson Rosella

The green outline on the map marks a dip in the road where a creek cuts through the pasture creating a quite different environment characterised by dense scrub and bracken. The sound of wrens and other small birds fills the air and several Adelaide Rosellas land in one of the larger eucalypts.

Farmed Red Deer, they are also an introduced pest species

My final stop on this exploratory drive around the Springton area yields the most interesting images of the day. In a high-fenced paddock, a herd of Red Deer sit quietly in the long grass. Introduced wildlife, they are bred for venison and the velvet on the stags’ antlers.

Family grouping of Western Grey Kangaroos, the male is not necessarily the parent animal

In stark contrast, a trio of Western Grey Kangaroos; male, female and half-grown joey, huddle together as I move within camera range. Large herbivorous grazers they occupy the same Australian ecological niche that deer inhabit in Europe, Asia and North America. A nice biological footnote to end my day around Springton.

Cheers

Baz
