November 29, 2016. January 6, 2017. A bit has been happening in November. First of all my new domain has been registered and I am now a .blog and just a bushboy writing from bushboy.blog. A new sign for the property so any of my Airbnb guests can find me a bit easier. Thank you to my bestie, not only a fabulous artist but a great signwriter as well. Over the next few weeks the old orange “post” will have a bit of a make over as well. And then see spotted me. I was waiting for ages to get a photo of an Au...

Goodbye 2016…. – bushboys world
https://bushboy.blog/2017/01/04/goodbye-2016
January 4, 2017. The last photos of December 2016 are nearly all birds. The weather was still hot and the bird baths proved to be a winner with all the birds who are staying around here. The cool of the forest also helps. The birds come into the garden from the forest in the cool of the morning and in the cool of the evening. Sometimes you just have to fully immerse to get the benefits of cool water. I think this was a female Scarlet Honeyeater diving in deep into the very popular hanging pot. Every morn...

June had something new as well as old. July 5, 2016. The rain finally came in June. The big dam, which leaks, almost filled which is lovely to see even though it only lasts a few weeks before it’s a puddle again. The frogs certainly liked the water and there were a number of different types of frogs calling. The frogs were also on this little dam which is more of a wetland than a functioning dam. The animals drink from here as well as some birds. Dragonflies were flitting about on both dams. In the insul...

The Fast Joey Hops Around – bushboys world

The Fast Joey Hops Around. January 5, 2017. One morning, a Red-necked Wallaby Joey and his Mum were enjoying the garden. When all of a sudden the Joey decided it was time to climb out of Mum’s pouch and test out his hopping skills to see how fast he could get around the garden. 8220;Hey Mum, I think I might go for a very fast hop over there.”. 8220;I better check out what’s around just in case.”. 8220;Maybe I’ll hop over that way”. 8220;No….I’m going to hop really fast this way”. Liked by 1 person. Pleas...

Birds, Bugs, Butterflies and Flowers. December 21, 2016. December 29, 2016. Another hot day has made me think it will be better being inside rather than the baking sun out there. At the moment there is thunder rumbling about. But that happened last night and didn’t result in rain. I hope this lot will as it is dry as anything here. Sometimes a bigger bird will also like to have a drink like this Little Friarbird. The male Scarlet Honeyeaters seem to get on when there’s a drink involved. Another place to ...

Wanderings in early 2016. March 27, 2016. March 28, 2016. One thing that I find fascinating is finding other objects in inanimate stuff that I discover. Let’s start with some tree roots that were on the side of the road at Buccarumbi which was a “lets see what’s down this road” destination on a wandering drive around the Clarence Valley. I saw a duck…what about you? Can you see the elephant? The little one certainly kept an eye on me. The thing about living in an organic house is getting used to whoever ...

https://bushboy.blog/2016/12/29/here-is-december-so-far
Here is December so far. December 29, 2016. December has been quite warm to hot and I wish it would rain. The birds are coming into the garden for the watering places I have set out for them. The garden is getting drier but most of the plants are hanging on. The Red-necked Wallabies are hanging around the house. Some have taken to the cool under the house or in the shade offered by the house and sheds.This bloke just hopped into the garden and lay down for a rest. The hanging pot bird bath, the subject o...

https://bushboy.blog/2016/05
The year so far. May 30, 2016. May 30, 2016. So far this year I have found some allusive birds, some bees doing what bees do, lovely flowers, insects, a new bird that was very accommodating to be photographed and a photo or two that viewer discretion is advised. How did I know that there was something mothy happening. Perhaps the next image is more explanatory. They were indeed attached, chosing a cactus to add that extra bit of spice to the act perhaps. The Blue-banded Bees love the Blue Ginger flowers ...

June 6, 2016. Hello May. May has come and gone. We went back to Macleay Island again and I have another new bird that I have photographed. I do get excited when I find something new. This collection of photos has some birds, mainly that I have put here before, that I have found in a comical situation. OK situations that I find comical and hope you do too. And the rest of the wings are a bit shabby and colour bleached. Here is a close up of a flower spike. The Curlews are back. I am not sure what they...
