Silver eye bird - Zosterops lateralis

 Our kitten caught this Silver eye bird, he was very gentle with it, nonetheless I had to rescue it of course. It was beautiful and I was very happy to see he seemed to be alright besides a little bit of blood on his neck. 

Mushrooms

 

They all pop up after the showers, it's a wet winter in Perth. 

Baby spiders

 Saw something moving from the corner of my eye when passing the succulent in my garden who is flowering for the first time. A nest of tiny baby spiders are getting ready for the big world. Couldn't figure out what type it is. 

Juvenile redback spider

 This juvenile redback spider came running in fast pace over the outdoor table where I had my lunch while reading my book. It went in a straight line right over the book, to the edge of the table sailing down on a line of spiderweb until out of sight. 

Groundcover

 We came across this small groundcover succulent like plant during a walk in Bickley-Kalamunda area. Not sure if it's a native to Western Australia
