FOM is full of seedpods at the moment – remarkable sights

Seedpods of all sorts – so many extraordinary seedpods – green, open, closed, eaten, growing – remarkable sight

This one from my walk this morning.

Collared sparrowhawks – note size difference in the young

also this morning – sacred kingfishers calling  lots at various places along Buffalo Creek – nesting time; red-browed finch nests around; silver gulls fishing in Lane Cove River for small fish jumping – saw a gull take a fish jumping two days ago.

Collared Sparrowhawk young Field of Mars

Last couple of days – kookaburra have left nest,  good glimpses of a number of whipbirds,

watched a silver gull fishing successfully in Lane Cove River, Dollar birds around, lots of small bird activity – brown thornbills, spotted paradottes, red-browed finches, white browed scrubwrens; the bush is full of seed pods ripening –opening so lots of good seed food around, thousands of actinotus minor ( tiny flannel flowers)
