Covid lockdown number 5, restricted to 5km from home and only essential travel and one exercise outing a day. This morning we went out in the light drizzly rain for a walk up along the Djerring trail, grabbed a takeaway coffee and drank it in a socially isolated fashion while walking around the fenced off section of remnant bushland where Boyd park joins the old railway corridor. There's a few indigenous orchids flowering at the moment, I'd seen the fenced off section a few weeks ago and their leaves, then remembered to come back and have a look — A Greenhood orchid[1]... I think
Continuing on our walk under the gum trees Jo was saying how she'd seen a Tawny Frogmouth[2] last week in another park, reminded because we'd seen them previously in Boyd Park. I commented that we could easily have walked under half a dozen of them, given how thick the tree cover was and how well they hide. Amusingly, the three of us then looked up and started laughing as there above us were two huddled together on a branch, just a grey feathery lump hidden from casual view.
