Hi all,
=20
Here's a bunch of photos from the last two days, Highlights #6 to 20.
Highlight #8 is a plant we can't identify. It's tiny, perhaps 25mm =
high,
and grows on the wind swept coastal barrens of the Pennant Peninsula,
Crystal Crescent Beach PP. This was the only one I saw on a three hour =
hike
yesterday.
=20
Highlight #11 is a nice open grouping of Dragon's Mouth Orchid. Usually
these guys grow in groups of two and three and are surrounded by other
vegetation.

I found another Black-backed Woodpecker this morning at Mount Uniacke
Estate. The bird was in shade, as usual, and crying. It's quite the
peculiar sound to this human's ear but I'm sure it means plenty to the =
other
members of his family. Most bird books don't mention this =
contact/foraging
behaviour.
=20
A Polyphemus Moth was on our porch this morning. I immediately boxed it
since the jays come around early to clean out the moths around the porch
light. The "eyes" of the moth are a supposed deterrent to predators(so
thinks the moth) but I doubt it will stop a jay and I wasn't going to =
take
the chance. Tonight with the porch light off it will leave.
=20
The last photo in this set is a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth, always a =
great
photographic subject.
=20
As always, jump in if I've made any identification errors.
