A nature blog of south-east Victoria, mostly Gippsland. Soaking up the brief winter sun. August 2, 2015. My family and I have recently returned from 6 weeks travelling to the Kimberley (that’s why I haven’t posted on here for a while) and it’s been hard for us to adjust to the cold and wet conditions from wearing shorts and t-shirts (if that) every day in the tropics.

https://wildsoutheast.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/gippsland-the-skinks-domain
A nature blog of south-east Victoria, mostly Gippsland. Gippsland: The Skink’s Domain. April 9, 2015. I’ve been fascinated by reptiles since I was a child and whenever I get the chance I’m trying to ‘hunt’ them down to observe and photograph them in the field. In spring and summer any trip to the bush or in a well vegetated garden on a sunny day will yield a variety of skinks. A frenzy of activity is usually seen in spring and summer when many species emerge from their dormancy to mate. During th...Is al...

A nature blog of south-east Victoria, mostly Gippsland. Rockpool ramblings- Bear Gully. April 20, 2015. The beach is generally not suitable for swimming as it is mostly made up of extensive areas of rocks. This turned out to be a very interesting area to search in the tidal pools and our kids were constantly on their hand and knees peering into these worlds with amazement. Our youngest daughter at a rock pool. Pair of White-faced Herons hunting. I did notice them taking fish and small crabs but they were...

A nature blog of south-east Victoria, mostly Gippsland. Bell Miners and psyllids. March 25, 2015. In southern Victoria and coastal NSW there’s nothing like the tinkling sound of Bell Miners but as Gouldiae pointed out recently in his blog http:/ gouldiaesblog.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/bell-miners-and-dieback.html. It’s not always what it seems. I visited the Drouin Nature Reserve on the outskirts of Drouin today, a small forest reserve with a relatively large population of Bell Miners. I did notice quite a...
