365 Days in Nature - Days 81 - 88

Day 88 - Duckies on our pond/dam

Day 87 - Baby Long Neck Turtle - about the size of an old Australian Penny - 3cms or 1 1/4inches. He's got a muddy back because he came out of our dam. A friend picked him up and brought him up our hill to show us, then we returned him to the dam

Day 86 - Peron's Tree Frog - just hanging around

Day 85 - Crested Pigeon - interesting little fellows. When they take off the air rushing through their wings makes a fluty noise.

Day 84 - another shot of a Peron's Tree Frog. They look fairly nondescript until they spread their legs, which have a flash of bright yellow on the underside.

Day 83 - a bee or a wasp (not sure which) caught in a spider's web

Day 82 - a pigeon or dove

Day 81 - Flower Flies or Hover Flies - Peter, my husband, had been turning some Huon Pine. The perfume from the wood attracted these native flies. It was an amazing sight.
