No Kookaburra!

It seems that every time in the morning I ALWAYS miss the kookaburra that comes to the back yard.  It is so frustrating! 

Saw a lovely mother koala with her joey that is starting to get more adventuress, it like to jump from branch to branch.

Afterwards we walked about in the enclosure to track the sand pad activity.  Not much happened, except we saw a bush stone curlew chick that followed us around, it is about the height of your palm!  It is a very rare bird to see and we got to see its chick!  Dave is an Australian researcher and says he has never before seen one in his life.  I still haven’t seen a silly kookaburra but I have seen rare bird, imagine that!

There is a specialist coming in today with his wife and niece to talk about echidnas!  They will stay the night in my house and we will be having a barbeque for them as well!  I am in need of a run even though I am walking about 3 hours everyday, I still need a run.  Hopefully I don’t scare an unsuspecting kangaroo while I run and get attacked… hopefully.

Just a quick glimpse of the Tamar Wallaby

The baby Bush Stone Curlew is very well blended.

The Goanna are very difficult to get close to, best shots I could get from so far away.

The day has been pretty good so far, my feet and legs are getting tired from all the walking and my back needs a good stretch from all the gardening work.  I cant wait though until I can start seeing more of the island, which should be in the next couple days!
