I'm sorry to say there's just a vague recollection of our chat. But, then, I had to check notebook to recall first-ever Red-capped Robin, at end of month.<BR/><BR/>We've fingers crossed as I post this, hoping Herbert has peaked and will start dropping near midnight. Levels here are well short of Tuesday-Wednesday and there wasn't a lot of rain through the day. Not so lucky in town, I fear.Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-70643205318235647992009-02-07T09:44:00.000+10:002009-02-07T09:44:00.000+10:00Hi Tony, I've been following your blog since findi...Hi Tony, I've been following your blog since finding it during a recent search for nature related blogs. Sorry to hear on this morning's news that Ingham is cut off again. I hope all the cleaning up in the caravan park hasn't been in vain. Daintree is sultry, some monsooonal rain as you would expect at this time of the year. The Daintree river was very high yesterday and our swamps were overfull but the level dropped overnight.<BR/>Your photo of the Little Bronze Cuckoo reminds me of our visit to Tyto last May - we were trying to turn a Little Bronze into a Horsfield's until you gave us some instruction. The plumage is quite exquisite in the morning light - a real gemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-30417497416301413972009-02-06T16:40:00.000+10:002009-02-06T16:40:00.000+10:00Nice work, Tony, to see the blue-grey of the eyes....Nice work, Tony, to see the blue-grey of the eyes. <BR/>My local Lewin's HEs have similar eyes to your WG HE, but I see they are not in the same family. Close enough I believe.<BR/>Good that you can laugh at the water.<BR/>Obviously you would need that attitude. Best wishes.<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-7295472046272504872009-02-06T13:42:00.000+10:002009-02-06T13:42:00.000+10:00Thanks Mick.

I have no secret formula.<BR/><BR/>Hi Snail: Combination of mature plumage coming through on juvenile adds something, doesn't it? WG's typical pose sets up an illusion of fretting.<BR/><BR/>We laugh at water, Duncan, and are never floored by it ;-) Luck held and only water to come in dripped off me.Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-47675417070105838442009-02-06T12:55:00.000+10:002009-02-06T12:55:00.000+10:00Lovely shots Tony, hope the water didn't damage th...Lovely shots Tony, hope the water didn't damage the van floor.Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182951711946882353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-35354956057537592612009-02-06T12:13:00.000+10:002009-02-06T12:13:00.000+10:00That's one positive outcome from the floods!
