WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

These (not so glood) shots were taken at the Gold Coast and is obviously a Cormorant however I am not 100% sure it is a Pied Cormorant.  I am sure that Stewart will help us ID it correctly.

SUNDAY THOUGHT

Nehemiah 8:10

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.  

It is great JOY at the end of last year to have both my daughter together to share wonderful adventures



This photograph was taken in the Daintree Australia.

SATURDAY CRITTERS

This beautiful Hercules moth has been on our wall for a few hours at one of the residents of Botanica Lifestyle Resort.  It's the largest moth in the world and is endemic to New Guinea and Northern Australia. Its wing span is around 27cm. They live for 10 to 14 days during which time it does not eat because it has no mouth.
