Hi Hans,
Photo 17 July, crystal crescent beach asking for identification.
This seems to be :-
Common name Bake apple or Cloud berry, latin Rubus chamaemorus L.
This Sunday 15 july, I saw some plants on Taylor head barren jutting
into ocean & previously in bogs / barrens by Atlantic coast.

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.
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.
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.
The last photo in this set is a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth, always a great photographic subject.
As always, jump in if I've made any identification errors.
Hans
