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.

The House of Fran_mart: July 2015 updates
http://franmart.blogspot.com/2015/08/july-2015-updates.html
The House of Fran mart. Saturday, 1 August 2015. As well as my customary announcement of revisions and additions (which follow) I thought (a slightly modified version of) an image from the COG Chatline might be an amusing reflection on current politic debate. Updates to this blog. Further frustrations with Australia Post. A correction made to the rail-trail post. To make it clear that Ms Faithfull resided temporarily in Hoskinstown not Bungendore as originally typoed! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The House of Fran_mart: September 2014
http://franmart.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The House of Fran mart. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. The Steg comes to Carwoola in top gear. Now any rev-heads who have ended up here while looking for he of the white Nomex. Will realise that theyhave followed a typo and there is an 'e" in the abbreviation for Stegostyla ustulata. The catalyst for this post was finding the first plant of this species for 2014 this morning. If you don't agree that that flower is some top gear, I have great sympathy for you! Nearby I found some flowering Drosera peltata.

The House of Fran_mart: Which end of what raptor?
http://franmart.blogspot.com/2015/08/which-end-of-what-raptor.html
The House of Fran mart. Sunday, 2 August 2015. Which end of what raptor? A neighbour, by Australian standards (as her house is about 3km away in a straight line, by European standards she'd probably be in a different country) reported the following to me. I found a relatively tight little ball of mainly ticked hair. It was about 8 to 10 cm long with a circumference of about 10 cm. I opened it up to check it out and within it there were a number of bones. . How about a Powerful Owl? There were a number of...

The House of Fran_mart: May 2015
http://franmart.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The House of Fran mart. Friday, 29 May 2015. EBird species and checklist counts adjusted for population. I have posted before about the eBird Big Day. The dust has now settled and the results by country are available. I thought it would be interesting to see how the results appeared when looked at when adjusted for the population of each country. Click on 'World" then scroll down until "All countries" eventually appears, and bingo). Best They have final estimates for 2010 and projections for years since ...

Grup d'anellament PARUS: de juny 2013

Dilluns, 17 de juny de 2013. Tardienta, molt verd, herba molt alta i molta pluja. Malgrat la seva definició, ens vam trobar un Monegros molt diferent d'altres ocasions allà on hi havia d'haver aridesa ens vam trobar verdor, allà on havia d'haver sequedat ens vam trobar basses i fang, on havia d'haver matolls secs ens vam trobar prats de flors i herba alta. Verd per tot arreu. Dubtem que tornem a veure els Monegros tant verd en ple mes de Juny. Manifest científic pels Monegros. Durant la tarda del divendr...
