The Orange Berry is fruiting again! These little berries taste like a mix of citrus and mango. Whether you call them or they're a lovely tree for the backyard. Let them grow or keep them trimmed as a fruiting hedge!

The are out in force now that the rain has stopped. Managed to capture this on the Cosmos flowers. Lovely to see them foraging in my garden... I have two hives but I rarely see them after they fly out - they must be foraging in the rainforest instead. This is definitely and likely . Plenty more photos to come!

Heyyyyy Macaranga!

No, not a typo, not autocorrect...
This is a Sulfur Crested Cockatoo getting stuck into the fruit of the Macaranga Tree. These trees are found in disturbed areas where they provide shade for younger trees under their fast-growing canopy. They live just long enough to allow the younger trees to mature before they die themselves.
Yes, they're a bit messy in habit and foliage loss.
Yes, they occasionally drop branches (not usually big ones).
Yes, they are an incredibly important habitat tree for Australian rainforests and animals. They must taste pretty good because the birds seem to love the fruit and studies suggest that the native stingless bees love the flowers!

A Blue-banded Bee male foraging on a hot day. These guys are much faster than the females in my garden. It's very difficult to get shots of them flying around so I was happy with this one despite some definition issues.

Have you been looking for during ? It's almost over! Get out there now! 😄

I love sketching nature. I'm not promising any amazing works of art but I tried something new in my latest birdcall video...
