Another walk, at Belgrave. A bit cool (face-stinging cold) but I like a bit of damp forest.
Patch of open forest with eucalypts, ferns etc. Damp and green Lower trunk of a blackened, fire-scarred gum. Peeling bark ready to feed the next fire (eucalypts are bad news) Bit of a lake with reeds around the edge, frogs, waterhens and allegedly platypus but none to be seen. Just a few ducks.

Taobh a-muigh na h-uinneag-sa
tha an canal cho trang sa bhitheas e.
Tha na lachan, na cearcan-uisge
’s na faoileagan uile cha mhòr air fàs a-nis…

—Pàdraig MacAoidh, “Crann-cuinnse”

Crann-cuinnse Pàdraig MacAoidh Taobh a-muigh na h-uinneag-sa tha an canal cho trang sa bhitheas e. Tha na lachan, na cearcan-uisge ’s na faoileagan uile cha mhòr air fàs a-nis, na h-iteagan aca laidir is grinn gu leòr gus teicheadh air sgiath. Tha am bliadhna a’ tionndadh, ma-thà, agus sluagh nam fèisean a’ lìonadh nan treànaichean ’s nan itealan agus a’ toirt dhachaigh an cuid dannsa agus gaireachdainn, ceòl agus dìbhearsain. Measgachadh de leantainneachd agus caochladh – na bhios a’ ruith agus a’ stad. Dè dhèanamaid leis a’ chaochladh seo, a’ chlach, an uisge, an fhoghair san adhar? Cò aig a tha fios? Ach seall – tha na druidean-dubha air tilleadh, a’ lìonadh a’ chrainn-cuinnse, a’ feitheamh air biadh. Quince Tree Peter Mackay Outside the window the canal is as busy as it ever is. The ducks, the waterhens, the seagulls are all fledged, their wings strong, elegant enough to take flight. The year is turning, then, and the crowds from the festivals fill the trains and planes, taking home their dancing and laughter, music and distraction. A mix of continuity and flux, what flows and what remains. What should we do with this change, these cycles, this stone and water, this autumn in the air? Who knows? It doesn’t really matter. Look, the starlings have returned, filling the quince tree, waiting to be fed.

waterhens have been living rent free in my mind because I KEEP trying to get a good pic of them when I go on walks but it's impossible

Day 6&7 in Oman with @naturetrek.bsky.social With Salalah out of reach now, we spent our time in the Empty Quarter looking for desert species. Hoopoe Lark showed well. At Muntasar we watched Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse come to drink. Asian Desert warblers and the vagrant White-breasted Waterhens too

Amazing scenes in a local park every year as the swans and cygnets hunt and drown the goslings/ducklings/baby coot/waterhens.

Throwback to ten years ago today, when I got a crash course in the Australian way of nature while visiting a friend in Sydney.
Close-up photo I took of part of a sign in a public park in Sydney, Australia. The text reads, "We drain the ponds regularly and after refilling the eels are back within weeks. Staff have seen baby eels (elvers) squirming across the damp grass at night from the harbour! It's only natural. It may not be a pleasant sight to see a fluffy duckling taken by an eel, but it is the way of nature. Ducks in turn find baby eels a tasty meal. At times when ducks and waterhens are breeding profusely, the eels help to maintain a natural balance.
