This week’s trip to the Australian Botanical gardens Mount Annan, didn’t yield any mushrooms, been a while since that last occurred, In fact I didn’t get to many shots, I was that excited about this week, One or two were OK but the rest are pretty ordinary. Oh well can’t  have good ones every week.  So this morning I started off early arriving and got to the gardens around 7:00am, The Gardens don’t officially open to 10:00 but if you’re a member for “Friends for the gardens” they allow you in as long as its daylight.

One of the first things I found this week as a Pee-Wee or Magpie lark nest with the bird on the nest, this was a far way away and even zoomed in you don’t see much it’s not till you crop in, in the image you see the final results, not to my liking, not as sharp as some of my other shots so not entirely happy with this one  but being so far away at least you weren’t disturbing the bird.

From there I went via the lakes and found an Australian white ibis by the lakes. A lone Hare was racing across the main lawn area before the crowds start to arrive for the day so these couple of images were taken as he raced away. It didn’t stop long but with no protection understandable.

Took a few there of that, then turned my attention towards the lakes where I found these young Australian Wood ducks a family of them out for their morning walk.

I went looking for mushrooms but no luck this week, so settled for a few flower shots and then went home so four hours in the gardens this week. 

Hopefully I'll have better luck next weekend.

Thanks for dropping by my blog.
