One of the things I like about going to work at this time of year is the gorgeous sunrises over the ridiculously beautiful views up there.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074683553623545047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179578738149165660.post-63157834108080478952014-06-19T09:24:14.048+12:002014-06-19T09:24:14.048+12:00I bet you'd notice the difference since your l...I bet you'd notice the difference since your last visit Olwen, hopefully many more birds. The tallest tree is an eucalyptus & I only knew about it because it was marked as a POI in my map book. I didn't know it was within the sanctuary. Next time we will have lunch at the café, this time I wanted afternoon tea but it would have used up valuable bird watching time! :)<br />FlyingKiwiGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596848732189181045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179578738149165660.post-13394968647969991182014-06-19T09:19:41.992+12:002014-06-19T09:19:41.992+12:00It sure is a small world!

And what a lovely area to work in, I'd be visiting the sanctuary every day if I worked out there or not getting much work done listening to the birds. Mind you it's quite a drive out there isn't it. Do you go via the port or Mt Cargill Rd? I'd have loved to see it in the snow....I think :) FlyingKiwiGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596848732189181045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179578738149165660.post-73943966827883957832014-06-18T23:24:12.741+12:002014-06-18T23:24:12.741+12:00I went there 2 or 3 years ago and also thoroughly ...I went there 2 or 3 years ago and also thoroughly enjoyed it. I intend to go back now I've heard about the tallest tree there and the skinks. I also had a marvellous salad at there cafe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07043261603693663939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179578738149165660.post-77868210213587194152014-06-18T22:57:47.990+12:002014-06-18T22:57:47.990+12:00Lovely shots of the Ecosantuary Shellie, looks lik...Lovely shots of the Ecosantuary Shellie, looks like you had a good day for it. Although you should've seen it a couple of weeks ago in the snow! I work right across the road from the Ecosantuary at the kennels/cattery and had to use 4WD to get in to work that day. We hear a lot of the bird song from the birds that come out of the sanctuary - mostly Tuis and Bellbirds. The other day while outside, after having brought the dogs in I was listening to a couple of bellbirds talking to each other. One (just above my head) would whistle a tune and another a bit further away would repeat it. Magical!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074683553623545047noreply@blogger.com
