Sleepy koala
Another hot day, the koala is making the most of a shady spot in a tree.

Tired little koala
A couple pulled up in their car to take photos of the little koala, so
I got my camera out and took a few photos myself. The couple were from
overseas and this was the first koala they'd seen since arriving in
Australia. This is the same baby koala I have featured
from time to time, but he's in a different tree today.
Today the temperature reached 37.4C, that's about 100-F, and quite hot.

Young wren in the leaf litter
The little wren was quite curious and stayed for a few
moments, long enough for me to get a handful of
reasonable shots.

Tree branch
Up high in the ancient eucalyptus tree
The old tree, which could be 300 years of age, houses'a swarm of
bees, several birds nest in the many cavities and a pair of ducks
nest high in the tree each spring. There's often a koala
amongst the many branches, and I've seen ring-tailed possums
sunning themselves on a bare branch.

A pair of wattlebirds
A noisy pair of birds. They keep a daily vigil for any trespassing bird that
dare to infiltrate their area.

New Holland Honeyeater
Sitting in a self-sown ash tree - we have plenty of these trees along our roadside, they grow like weeds. The bird has just had a bath in one of the birdbaths in one of our bush gardens.
