    Although the monsoon trough is yet to reach us we think the wet season has begun. Since 1st January we have had 428.9mm or rain (as of this morning 10/1/20), including one overnight dump of 146.5 mm on the 5th & 151.5mm on the 8th.

    The ground is just starting to soften up & these weird rainforest fungi have started popping up everywhere.

    Marbled Frog in car headlights (+torch). It's defensive strategy was to 'freeze'. After taking the photo we picked it up to take it off the road & it remained rigid until released into the shadow of a bush.

    This tiny thing came for a very quick visit, yesterday. I've had a go at identifying it but have had no success. Probably a very common bird or an immature one.

    It has a grey back and a very short, dark tail, and stands 4-5cm tall. I would appreciate it if anyone could post its species name.

    To me it looks like & reads like a fairy wren of some sort, maybe a young one. However fairy wrens have a fairly long tail, maybe young ones don't? It's body shape & stance look fairy wren'ish. Colours are hard to tell as it the pink/purple artifacts look like something that editing has thrown up?

    That is what I thought too, but all the pics I have seen, show the young ones with a solid colour to their faces. I must add that it flew very fast and direct, not wobbly like a youngster.

    This mornings 'captures'.
    I think I have finally realised that photographing birds, for me is like hunting. Getting a good shot of a species for the first time involves many of the skills of hunting, but nothing dies.
