Hello,
Our day off today. We had a slow start but eventually got into gear. The new chicks were out today so i went down to take a picture. Unfortunately some were lost between the plastic and the haystack and my efforts to get them out made them run further inside. I pulled up the black plastic and captured the lost ones and reunited them with their mother. I then led the ducks back to the dam before they could practise their usual graffiti.
We drove out to Fortescue Bay which once again confirmed its place as my number one location in this neck of the woods. After biting the bullet and buying a new parks pass for 12 months all parks access (my previous 2 month pass expired in May) we headed off on our nominated walk to Canoe Bay and Bivouac Bay. A pleasant walk with many of the shrubs in flower. The wreck at Canoe Bay is a barge sunk in the late 50's to act as a breakwater. On the way to Canoe Bay you pass through the penguin colony not that there are any there during the day. Since it is the end of the breeding season there are still a few vagrants as evidenced by some growling heard from under a fallen tree. I also came upon what i presumed was a rat of what variety i don't know. It was quite unconcerned about my presence to a degree. We headed on towards Bivouac Bay but due to time constraints didn't reach our destination. A legacy of starting out late and dawdling along the track. We returned to the car soaking up the late afternoon sun. Returning home we stopped in at the "Fox and Hounds" a fairly garish imitation of a medieval English pub and had tea which was of a good standard and accompanied by a bottle of D'Arenberg Shiraz.The forecast showers of rain have arrived with hopefully not too wet a day tomorrow.
night Folks
cheers Simon
