Walter John Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 A Grey Heron stork bird, what is this ? anyway, it called in this morning, we've had good rains and I've been away, the grass has grown in patches quite strongly. Just confirmed that this is a native bird to the area, it is a white faced heron, Egretta novaehollandiae. 1 Happy GardeningCheers, WalQueensland, Australia.

Daryl Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Here's a couple more visitors This bird (Noisy Pitta) flew into the window and stunned itself pretty well. To the point that I could pick it up and place it in a box without it even flapping...after an hour or so it was well enough to fly off again. Another visitor today...this Carpet Snake cruised straight past the missus and I and then climbed up my Capentarias and into the roof, I'm presuming for his winter snooze. He was a decent size ...about 3m (10ft) long and about 100mm (4") thick in the middle. Daryl 1 Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S. Mild, Humid Subtropical climate. Rainfall - not consistent enough!

Daryl Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Ed, the snake is a Carpet Snake, or Carpet Python (Morelia spilota)...the large trunk in the photo belongs to Carpentaria acuminata and the thinner trunks are Ptychosperma macarthurii Here's a better shot... regards, Daryl 1 Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S.

DSC_1170.jpg DSC_1146.jpg DSC_1135.jpg Yes Daryl, they are common along our small streams and near the edge of the dams as this is their "favoured" place to hang out, they move on when approached like all snakes , except the Brown , but in saying that, when Demi was just 15 yo she was struck twice by a very small rough scale and her hand where she was injected went red and hot "straight away".. Anyway, we rushed her to hospital and Demi was given the "wrong" anti venom ( for a Brown not a Tiger) and we really thought we where going to loose her, her whole body went purple and she puffed up massively over her "entire body". Very, very scary for any parent. I could "go on" but so, so thankful our darling daughter Demi is alive and well. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Pete. I have read that they pack a punch...you were all very fortunate from the sound of things.
