Barking Owl on silo, Avoca, Victoria. Apparently the eyes are going to be painted with fluorescent or glow in the dark paint!

Field Trip Hazards...

Out and about on a field trip today. Not too many of the usual hazards, too cold for snakes, bushfires, etc., a fence around the open cut area with appropriate signage. Maybe the usual potential for sharp quartz splinters and the like, but not a big issue. On the way however, we came across a single sheep in the middle of the road, and a bit later, a tree down, causing a bit of bush-bashing to go around it. On the way home, a whole flock of sheep! Short video below . Nobody with them, no farmer, no sheepdog, nothing. And we had been travelling at 100kph! Managed to slow down and pass them safely 😁

Close Encounter with an Emu...

Came across this little critter today at Tower Hill, near Warrnambool, Victoria... Video below 😁

Memories...

Growing up in Birmingham, England, each November 5th, Guy Fawkes Night was celebrated with fireworks and bonfires. Fawkes was one of the people that tried to assassinate King James I in 1605. You can read about the Gunpowder Plot here . I recently came across this image from Handsworth Park in 1971 that shows just how much effort went into these nights! This image from the Birmingham Mail archive.
