Yesterday I went back to the beautiful Pilton Valley in South East Queensland, where I called home for the first half of my life. I attended a very nostalgic tour of the area visiting many beautiful home gardens in the Stunning Pilton Valley.
While it was not a bird watching trip, I still saw quite a few beauties amongst the beautiful gardens and scenery. They included:
Red-Rumped Parrots
Pale-Headed Roseallas
Little Corellas
Double Barred Finch
Striated Pardalote
Willie Wagtail
Australian Magpie Lark (Pee Wee)
Australian Magpie
Galah
Noisy Miner

"Ravensthorpe"

| While I thought this old building covered in this flowering plant was beautiful, the owner told me it is a dreadful weed called Cats Claw Creeper, and it is terribly hard to get rid of. My Mother told me that it was a common plant in very old gardens. |
"Casey Park"

Great post and some lovely compositions there Judi.
ReplyDeleteThank you John, the photos didn't turn out how I had hoped as it was the middle of the day and very glary! I thoroughly enjoyed it though.
