365 Days in Nature - Days 73 - 80

Day 80 - a beautiful green tree snake trying to climb our gallery front wall - non-venomous, so Peter picked it up and relocated it to a tree!

Day 79 - an interesting winged insect



Day 78 - this photograph of my darling husband, Peter, feeding the Rainbow Lorikeets, shows how tame these wild birds can become. I also love this shot of them 'lining up', with one impatient customer halfway down the line - "Come on, get on with it, when's it my turn?"


Day 77 - The St Andrews Cross Spider usually sits, upside down, in the middle of it's web forming a cross. The adult is 5 to 15 mm in body length - abdomen striped yellow and brown. I like this shot as the web is so fine you cannot see it so the spider appears to be floating in mid-air. I try not to disturb their webs as they are huge and catch multiple insects and mosquitoes.


Day 76 - One of our Large Green Tree Frogs

Day 75 - Rainbow Lorikeets, Galahs and Crested Pigeons

Day 74 - Grey beetle

Day 73 - Delicate Mouse (Pseudomys delicatus)  a tiny Australian Native Mouse found in the arid regions across Northern Australia. I photographed these three fantastic specimens at the Sydney Wildlife Park. They are tiny, only growing up to 75mm (3") head/body length. They are an endangered species.

  1. Great shots all. I particular like the frog and the birds. So different from what we have here, especially the birds. Yours have so much color.
