Whatcha waitin' for?
Bad news : my squeaker has fallen off my binoculars. Haven't managed to find it yet. Damn.
Good news : I just walked about 1km around Star Swamp Reserve. Without any crutches. I think I'll be good to go on the Lake Coogee walk next Sunday. Seeing as most of the birders are over 50 anyway I should be able to keep up. ;)
Star Swamp itself has a bit of water in it, and many frogs croaking. But a dearth of birds. I seem to have this ability to tune out the calls of junk birds. I wasn't hearing the Rainbow Lorikeets and Magpies and Ravens and Wattlebirds. All I heard was silence apart from a racket of song from about 6 Grey Butcherbirds on the western side of the swamp, and the 'whit-whit' of a Striated Pardalote when I was back in the car.
