Today in Bungendore Park under Aramadale we did a walk and came across  this mouse lookalike seed. No idea what the tree is called.

Processionary caterpillars


During our hike in Yanchep National Park yesterday we also came across a few processions of caterpillars. This one was totally lost and started to go around in circles. 


 

While we were looking the end of the procession started to turn back which gave a bit of a hick-up in the neat line. 


A bit further were a few clumps of caterpillars, ready to start their track, this one must have chosen their leader...

Banksias






Did a 18km hike in Yanchep National Park today; the Cockatoo walk trail, and noticed some of the banksia's got new flower cones coming up. While the old ones were devoured by the hundreds of cockatoos in the trees.
