Rainbow Lorikeets

Very pretty colourful birds, not native to Western Australia but in abundance in the western suburbs for many years. A noisy lot and very bossy. The reason many native birds have moved out.

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...

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.

Marri flowers in summer

There is this marri in front of our house, dwarfed by the huge Moreton Bay fig tree and grown on an angle. But this year it is flowering more abundant since we have seen for the last years. Zooming with bees and regular flocks of black cockatoos feast on the flowers.
