Peonies - and the Rest: October 2008
http://peonies-of-leo.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Peonies - and the Rest. This is a diary by photo and comment to highlight the progress of plants, especially peonies, through the seasons at my home near Mount Uniacke/ Lakelands in Nova Scotia, Canada. Some other goings-on will probably also sneak into it. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Autumn is about coloured leaves- but the best ones aren't necessarily in trees! Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything here; it was one of those summers of whims and lack of get-to-it-ness. Links to this post.

With the sudden warmth, the garden has been flooded with the fragrance of the Golden Peony,. No photo today) which is not as sweet as the later. Paeonia tenuifolia subsp lithophila.

Lepidoptera Diary: May 2009
http://lepidopteradiary.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Butterflies, Moths plus other invertebrates found in my garden at Great Western, Victoria. Australia. Tuesday, 26 May 2009. Well, I think this moth is Oxycanus antipoda! Hepialids can be quite difficult to correctly identify without the beneift of years of experience and in some cases, a microscope! I was unable to be of much use to Denis. When he called for identification assistance recently, but I guess that is part and parcel of the mothing game! We are learning together. Click images to enlarge).

Fungi of Great Western: September 2009
http://fungiofgreatwestern.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Fungi of Great Western. Photographed in and around my garden situated at Great Western, Victoria, Australia. A few frogs and some flora, also included. Friday, September 18, 2009. A nice walk today after 29mm rain. Plenty of dragonflies and I saw my first skinks for the season. Now for the hard bit! I think this white example plus the pink one is the Dusky Caladenia (Petalochilus fuscata) and NOT the 'uncommon' Common Caladenia (Caladenia vulgaris) Both species were a bit too alike to my untrained eye!

The House of Fran_mart: A guide to spotting Banded Lapwings
http://franmart.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-guide-to-spotting-banded-lapwings.html
The House of Fran mart. Saturday, 8 August 2015. A guide to spotting Banded Lapwings. I apologise for the quality of some (OK all) of these images but the birds were over 50m away and the sun was in an unfortunate direction. Sometimes Banded Lapwings are standing up and thus easy to spot. Some are not too bad as they are squatting - presumably to examine a tasty invertebrate. Others really chuck on the camouflage. As far as I am aware there is not a Banded lapwing in this image. The Nature of Robertson.
