First Bush Walk of the season

[pugsly]

Was a warn day, so headed off for a quick walk this after noon.

Saw a few Jacky's, Black Cockatoo's and this guy. Was real happy to see me! Man I thought Lacies were quick up trees, this guy would give one a run for its money!

any pics of the black cockatoo?

 

[pugsly]

No.. there were 2 (a pair I assume) sitting on a rock, Im not a bird person.. took off soon after right over us, actually should have got some shots, but I see em around that area all the time.

Nice work Pugs, i just got back from my first night drive of the season - yep, i went to 'that spot'. Still too cold for the night drives though, it was already down to 20 degrees by 6pm. Saw plenty of frogs, a road kill RBBS, a massive road kill Bluey and a possum. I got a couple of pics of one of the frogs, will post soon. Hopefully someone can ID it for me.

 

[pugsly]

Yeah, was nice and warm in the middle of the day, I went out about 330-4.

Spots are secret! hehe

 

[MrBredli]

Anyone know what this is? I'm thinking Pobblebonk?

wow dude ,i have seen many species in sydney but still havent seen one of these yet
its an ORNATE BURROWING FROG limnodynastes ornatus
and its listed as uncommon!!
good score dude,what part of western sydney did u find it ?

 

[MrBredli]

First thing i thought when i saw it was it looked like some kind of burrowing frog. Found it north-west of Sydney mate, if you want a more exact location PM me. Thanks for the ID.

 

[pugsly]

IM EXCITED!!! (Sorry couldnt resist lol..)

 

[MrBredli]

'That spot' continues to live up to the hype hey Pugs. :lol:
