Photos of 10 Species

A relatively recent birding arrival to Aussie shores. A great country for everything...so much to discover!! There's a few trip reports in here from some expeditions I've run around the traps. Check out http://lihou.wildiaries.com for a recent Coral Sea expedition report. Contact me on simonmustoe@ecology-solutions.com.au. Cheers!

Yes, looks like it eh? I wonder whether there is any down-side to doing this. I expect they hunt mostly using their other senses at night.

That python is ready to shed its skin. Have a look at the opaque eye scales.

Steve, I've been feeling guilty for ages about not getting back to you. Thanks for your words on the pelagic last year. It was actually your paper that inspired me to do it. In fact, we're off again next week...this time hoping to coincide with some of the more interesting summer birds down there. Hoping a better chance for Pygmy Right Whale as well. Best, Simon.

Odonutter said about your Trip

Thanks Reiner! I'm sure you have seen it. It's a Maccoy's...probably one of the commonest in the Dandenongs, even in my garden in the drier areas. Thanks for the heads up on the fungus. I'll add the name.
