The tip of the Fleurieu

28 Apr

Dear Reader:

The school of Silver Drummer and Banded Sea Sweep mill around the rocky outcrop off Cape Jervis SA.

I am exploring the southern tip of South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsular using images that show a few of its many features and attractions.

Cape Jervis is the transit port for the Kangaroo Island Ferry as well as being an interesting wildlife destination in its own right.

Numerous seabirds live in this area including: terns, gulls, cormorants and various birds of prey. At different times I have observed Sea Eagles and Nankeen Kestrels.

Just before Cape Jervis, a dirt road leads to Fishery Beach where an undersea cable crosses beneath Investigator Strait to KI. I spend a little time snorkelling close to the shore where I photograph a school of Zebra Fish.

Numerous small birds inhabit the dense scrub around this area and the old buildings and machinery provide some historical context.

One of the main attractions of the southern Fleurieu is the Deep Creek Conservation Park; a wonderful place to photograph Western Grey Kangaroos and the occasional Echidna.

My next stop on this trip is Victor Harbor, where I watch a succession of recreational fishing boats head out to sea while I enjoy a tasty seafood lunch at Whalers Seaside Dining.

Having reached Victor from the city via South Road and Range Road I decide to return to Adelaide along the B37 (Strathalbyn Route) after a 4WD run along iconic Goolwa Beach towards the mouth of the Murray River.

Tasmania’s Flinders Island….Day 1

18 Apr

Dear Reader:

The Black Tiger Snake is a good two metres long with its head raised towards me. However, I am safely seated in the driver’s seat of the rented SUV.

The reflection in the side mirror suggests a cautious approach to photographing a large Black Tiger Snake

I am spending seven days exploring Tasmania’s Flinders Island in Bass Strait, the largest of the Furneaux Island group. My apologies for straying from my usual South Australian blogs but this fascinating Island is certainly worth a few posts.

Typical Flinders Island coastline

Nautilus, the coastal rental we are staying in, is truly wonderful; beautifully appointed and self-contained it offers panoramic views of the coastline.

View from Nautilus’s main living area

Unpacked and settled in, I take the path through the back garden and a  few metres of scrub emerging onto a granite platform which typifies this section of coast.

A gap in the scrub leads to the coast

The rugged outcrops and cliffs extend both ways along the shoreline, punctuated on the eastern flank by a bay with and stretch of golden sand. The sand yields Topaz crystals called ‘Killiekrankie Diamonds’. named for the tiny settlement and beach where they are found.

Killiecrankie’s bay and beach

A small bench sits on the border between scrub and granite. It is the perfect place to enjoy the striking scenery and look out for seabirds, dolphins and other coastal wildlife. I do not have to wait too long as a pod of dolphins cruises past several hundred metres out to sea while both Silver Gulls and Pacific Gulls fly along the seashore.

A Pacific Gull flies past

The sun is getting lower in the sky and there is just enough time to explore one of the many rockpools worn into the granite and accessible at low tide. This cursory look reveals periwinkles in the splash zone, limpets along the waterline and an occasional red anemone.

Three Limpets amongst the Periwinkles….both use their tight sealing processes to retain water and can survive low tide exposure

Evening is closing in and it’s time to get back and start preparing dinner. Approaching the steps leading to the house, I notice a Red-necked or Bennett’s Wallaby in the driveway. It doesn’t seem too perturbed by my presence and hops into the nearby tree-line then stops and looks back at me.

My first day on Flinders Island has been quite exciting and I hope for more revelations as the week goes by.

Cheers

Wirrina Foreshore Reserve

25 Mar

Dear Reader:

The Western Grey Kangaroo stops feeding and looks at me, twitches its ears then hops deeper into the bushes where it is joined by a second roo.

Western Grey Kangaroo
Then there were two

I am driving along the access road to Wirrina Cove marina, where I will walk along the Wirrina Foreshore Reserve. It is a rather overcast day which adds a few extra photographic challenges.

Beginning of the walk

Like other parts of the Fleurieu the story told by the rock formations is fascinating. The areas geoheritage includes: deep sedimentary basins, massive plate tectonic collisions, glaciation and mountain formation.

Rock formations along the shoreline

At low tide the rocky foreshore is a maze of rockpools. Within each of these ecological niches lives a wonderful variety of marine organisms such as anemones, sponges, seasnails and crustaceans; to mention just a few.

Shore crab species on the edge of a rockpool
Turban Shell

Banks of seaweed cover some parts of the shoreline and I am amazed to see an Australian Magpie probing the weed. Closer observation suggests it might be gathering nesting material.

After spending some time exploring the edges of the pools, I move back to the trail to capture a few images of the typical birdlife. There are White-faced herons stalking the shallows, Pied Cormorants and Masked Lapwings resting on the rocks and a pair of grebes further out to sea.

White-faced Heron

Having captured images of molluscs, birds, crustaceans and marsupials, I turn my attention to plants, insects and other life forms. Butterflies and native bees are feeding on flowering Scabia blooms, lichens coat the rock formations and Cushion Bushes colonise niches in the rock formations.  

The weather closes in and it is time to leave the walking trail. However, I am determined to return on a warmer, sunnier day with some snorkeling gear to further explore this fascinating area.

Cheers

Giles Conservation Park near Norton Summit

15 Feb

Dear Reader:

I can hear small birds in the undergrowth and scan the leaf litter and low bushes with my telephoto. Nothing at first then just a glimpse of a wren but it is a beautiful Milkmaid Lily that Catches my eye.

Milkmaid Lily

The Giles Conservation Park is a twenty-five minute drive up Magill Road from Adelaide’s CBD to Norton Summit; then a further five minutes along Lobethal and Woods Hill Road. I park opposite the park entrance and enjoy the view of green undulating farmland. There are Australian Magpies and a few Ravens in the fields.

Farmland opposite Giles CP

After leaving the wrens and Lilies my next surprise is a rather unusually marked Koala in a tree just a few metres along the clearly marked Ridge Trail.

Koala

Being late Spring, there is a proliferation of blooms along the trail including: eucalypts, wattles, lilies, peaflowers and native primroses. And, there are also an introduced weeds, one of which is quite intriguing the aptly named Rattlesnake Grass.

Red Parrot Peaflower

Rattlesnake Grass

Some animals give away their location with a subtle shuffle in the grass, not so the Kookaburra. Midway up a tall Stringybark a Laughing Kookaburra perches and calls to its mate deeper in the scrub.

Laughing Kookaburra

Koalas and kookaburras are relatively easy to spot but there is a myriad of smaller animals that live amongst the foliage, flowers and leaf litter which are much harder to detect. Insects, spiders, skinks and beetles are just a few examples of this lower but critical part of the food chain. Unfortunately the number of these creatures is becoming dangerously low because of pesticides, habitat loss and other human induced threats.

Common Garden Skink

Plague Locust

Having walked several kilometres and taken many photographs, it is time to head back to the city. However, I would never consider leaving the Norton Summit area without enjoying lunch with a view at the Scenic Hotel.

Murray River: Murtho Forest Reserve

21 Jan

Dear Reader:

As I walk across the top of the cliffs from the reserve’s entrance, I notice a Rainbow Bee Eater perched on a dead tree branch. The first one I have seen in Australia.

Rainbow Bee Eater

My next stop is an observation tower which provides splendid up and downstream views of the Murray River.

The observation tower is flanked by cliffs, river and scrub

Murtho forest reserve is part of the greater Riverland Biosphere Reserve. It lies 20 kms northeast of Renmark. There are several walks through the park as well as a camping area, boat launching facilities and the observation tower.

A houseboat makes its way down the river

Honeyeaters are common throughout the forest and I am lucky enough to photograph three different species in the area around the tower; White-plumed Honeyeaters, Singing Honeyeaters and the less common Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater. The latter species is perching on a protruding, dead branch above the river and it takes several shots to identify it.

White-plumed Honeyeater

It is hard to shift your gaze from the wonderful scenery; red cliffs, a slow meandering giant of a river as well as billabongs and wetlands on the far bank.

Wetlands opposite the forest

Leaving the viewing platform, I drive to the camping and boat launch area. There are quite a few flowering shrubs and ground covers in this location including an Eremophila species and Pigface, a common coastal succulent. I notice several different types of butterflies and a Hoverfly feeding on the blossoms.

Eremophila species

As the cloud cover thickens I decide it is time to drive back to Renmark with a short stop on the way at the Paringa Hotel for a drink and lunch.

Pangarinda Botanic Garden, Wellington SA, part 2

1 Dec

Dear Reader:

As we walk around the waterhole, I notice a large spider clinging to the corner of a fallen branch. Closer examination reveals it to be the shed carapace of a large Huntsman Spider.

Spider carapace

We are continuing (see previous post) our walk around the Pangarinda Botanic Park in Wellington East. We have reached a waterhole which is currently dry but surrounded by flowering Grass Trees and Kangaroo Paws. Nearby there are many other native bushes, many of which have ID markers. 

Grass Trees and scrub

Kangaroo Paws

Hundreds of insects are feeding on the tiny flowers which coat the Grass Trees. Most are introduced Honey Bees. However, there are some larger bees that might be natives as well as ants and a butterfly species which I do not recognise.

Flowering Grass Tree and butterfly

The next section of our walk is dominated by numerous Eremophila species. These beautiful flowering bushes have delicate curved, tubular flowers in a wide range of colours. Many varieties are well adapted to dryland conditions. Eremophilas are often used in gardens as they attract honeyeaters and other small, nectar feeding birds.

Eremophila polyclada

It is getting late in the day and with an hour and a half drive in front of us there is time for one last stop. We are only a couple of minutes’ from the Wellington ferry and it would be remiss not to spend a few minutes by the river.

Wellington ferry

Wetland pool near the ferry with old mechanical windmill

There are a couple of small  reedy, pools alongside the ferry ramp and we can hear Australian Reed Warblers calling. Tiny fish swim in small schools near the surface of the water.  In the distance Black-tailed Native hens are feeding in a paddock.

Our day complete, we turn for home and enjoy the wide variety of dryland landscapes this part of South Australia has to offer.

Pangarinda Botanic Garden, Wellington SA….part 1

18 Nov

Dear Reader:

There is a beautiful European Goldfinch perched in the top of a Casuarina. Though I came to look at native plants and fauna, this introduced bird is far to pretty to ignore.

European Goldfinch

A little further along the pathway, I notice a low spreading gum with pale roundish leaves and brilliant red flowers. The tag beneath the tree shows it is a Eucalyptus rhodantha or the Rose Mallee.

I am wandering around the Pangarinda Botanic Garden in Wellington East near Murray River. This wonderful community project, started in 1993, transformed 25 HA of weedy, eroded land into a brilliant dryland botanic garden primarily featuring plants of Western and South Australia.

Garden entrance

My first native bird sighting  is a Red Wattlebird picking insect larvae off the branches and leaves of a gum tree. They might be Lerps but it is difficult to tell at this range.

Red Wattlebird with larvae

Further along the trail, I notice a brilliant, yellow flowering bush (Calothamnus quadrifimus) sometimes called the One-side Bottlebrush. It appears to be a feeding station for a hoard of New Holland Honeyeaters. I set my camera to high speed mode and fire a few quick shots at the feeding birds.

New Holland Honeyeater feeding on Calothamnus sp blossoms

The nature of the trail changes throughout the park and I find myself looking across a small grove of Native or Cyprus Pine (Callitris sp). In the distance, I can just make out some blackbird sized birds hopping around a small pile of branches. Steadying myself on a the back of a conveniently placed bench, I use the full extent of my zoom. On review, I think they are Grey Shrike Thrushes.

Grove of Native Pine

Grey Shrike Thrush

The next section of the walk takes me along the eastern flank of the garden where there is a variety of eucalypts, native pine and other trees. The bird calls are both overwhelming and distinct along this part of the trail.  They indicate significant numbers of Superb Fairy Wrens, White-browed Babblers, various honeyeater species as well as tiny canopy living birds such as pardalotes and Silvereyes.

Where this taller stretch of trees peters out there is a bench by a waterhole surrounded by Grass Trees and Kangaroo Paws. An excellent place to stop and rest before tackling the rest of the circuit………..to be continued

Goannas, Shinglebacks and Ringnecks at the Ferries McDonald Conservation Park

30 Oct

Dear Reader:

Two Mallee Ringneck Parrots are perched high in a spindly eucalypt. Bracing the camera against a tree, I focus on the nearer bird to better illustrate its glorious colours.

Malle Ringneck Parrot

First sighting of Parrots

The Ferries McDonald Conservation Park is in the Monarto area about an hour’s drive from Adelaide’s CBD. It is a ‘dryland’ park dominated by Mallee trees and typical of the area before European settlement.

David entering the park

In the spring there is an abundance of blossoming shrubs and understory wildflowers, including numerous orchid species.

Eremophila Species

Peaflower species

 

We move along the narrow track slowly and listen carefully for a tell-tale rustle in the undergrowth or bird call. It is the former that announces my next encounter as a Shingleback Lizard heads for cover, abandoning the open, sunny area where it is basking.

Shingleback in cover

I’d prefer not to have my photograph taken

The occasional raptor, and small groups of cockatoos fly overhead. However, it is a diminutive, female Spotted Spotted Pardalote that catches my eye.

Spotted Pardalote

During the next hour of gentle walking we encounter a lone Western Grey Kangaroo near a fence-line which separates the park from nearby pastureland and numerous bird species. Most are tiny birds such as Silvereyes and honeyeater species which are feeding high in the canopy. In addition, there are Little Ravens, wattlebird species and Black-faced Cuckoo Shrikes in the area.

Western Grey with joey

The day is quite warm and the trek has taken a couple of hours which includes numerous stops to stand, watch and listen for wildlife. It is time for a leisurely drive home while still scanning for wildlife as we negotiate the initial section of unsealed road. However, it is a very rare sighting of a monitor lizard crossing the sealed road that really excites us.

Goannna crossing the road

I slow the car and cut the engine, gliding to a stop where the Goanna (the general term for all Australian monitors) pauses on a slight embankment. I power the windows down and we manage a few close ups before the lizard heads back into the scrub. An extraordinary way to round off our day.

Sand Goanna or Sand Monitor

The Kapunda Mine Trail…History and Wildlife

17 Jul

Dear Reader:

There is an Adelaide Rosella perched amongst the bare branches of a fruit tree in the garden of the old ‘Mine Manager’s House’.

Adelaide Rosella

I am taking a walk around the Kapunda Mine site situated on the southern edge of the mid north town of the same name. It is an easy, short walk. Despite the rather overcast conditions, I am hoping to get a few good shots of the site and local wildlife.

Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike (credit Debbie Simmonds)

Before my walk I spoke to several people at the Visitor Information Centre and the local hotel. They mentioned a mob of Western Grey Kangaroos in the area and the occasional Echidna encounter. Fingers Crossed!

Classic Aussie pub

From the parking bay by the old house, the marked trail leads up to a lookout and tall Chimney which was connected to the boiler house and steam engine.  This system ran different pieces of mining equipment.

Start of the trail

Leaving the chimney site I make my way down to a playground area with fascinating metal sculptures. As I read the information plaque I notice some movement in the bushes to my right. Kangaroo? No! A bunny which skips away into the bushes.

European Rabbit

Rounding one of the bends at the top of the walk I encounter more information plaques which detail a range of stories about mining processes, the life of miners as well as some anecdotes from the mine’s historic past.

One of many stories

I read some information about ‘Wheal Charles’ an early part of the complex catch a  glimpse of some tiny birds feeding on nearby saltbush plants. Focus is tricky in the poor light and with such speedy little birds I have to take a dozen shots before getting one right. They are Silvereyes, one of our smallest local species.

Silvereye

The views across the ‘minescape’ from here are quite fascinating with the streaks of different coloured minerals standing out from the browner soil and background rock strata.

View across part of the open cut section of the mine

There are sheep in a paddock alongside the mine and some dark coloured birds on the ground near them. Initially, I think they are Ravens but after a closer look through the telephoto lens I spot their red eyes and realise the birds are White-winged Choughs.

Nearby pasture

White-winged Choughs

The Choughs are my final wildlife encounter. However, as I make my way back to the beginning of the looped trail I notice a series of placards telling a story about Sir Sydney Kidman a famous Australian outback figure. A great way to finish my tour of this charming town’s historic mine site.  

A story to end the walk

Cheers

Baz

Mylor: Parrots, Food, Shopping and History

15 Jun

Dear Reader:

There is an avenue of trees shading the footpath. A small group of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are using both beaks and feet to feed on something growing or living on the branches and leaves.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoos enjoying a winter feast

I am in the small town of Mylor in the Adelaide Hills. It has a village atmosphere with a general store, small restaurant and craft shop and a football oval. Some lovely heritage homes adorn the main street and a small creek runs along the back of the oval.

One of many heritage buildings in the area

A quality range of goods on display at Verte Kitchen

As I walk along the tree lined street I notice a plaque commemorating soldiers from the town who gave their lives during the First World War. I pass a few emotional moments reading about the trees planted to mark their sacrifice.

The smaller populations of some early hills communities made these losses particularly poignant.

One of so many who gave their lives for their country

Apart from the Sulphur Crests, the trees harbour two other parrot species; Rainbow Lorikeets and Adelaide Rosellas. Once again it is hard to determine exactly what they are eating.

Adelaide Rosella

I cross the road only to stop and let a group of Maned Ducks toddle across the footpath next to me. Their presence certainly indicates there must be some water in the nearby creek.

Maned Ducks

I hear the calls of Galahs as a flock circles overhead before landing on the oval where they start foraging for bulbs, tubers and whatever else they can dig up with their powerful beaks.  Although the Galahs are some distance away, I take several shots. From experience, I suspect getting closer will result in the flock taking off.

Galahs or Rose-breasted Cockatoos

My final stop has little to do with the wildlife of the area. There is a wonderful little café and gallery in the middle of the village. Fresh baked goods, local arts and crafts all with a slightly French flavour make Verte’ Kitchen, a must visit, Hills destination.

So much to choose from

Cheers
