>> Hi all,
>>
>> 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 Woodpeckerthis 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.
