Treecreeper along the River Nairn

A lovely walk today in the sunshine along the River Nairn path with Kate, Mike and Susie.  It's always exciting when a treecreeper flies past and lands on a tree right next to you - but when it poses in the sunshine for a photo!  Another good day on the River Nairn path.

Painted Lady - more facts and close up photos.

I just wanted to show you the Painted Lady's tongue!  The black thing between the two antennae.  Apparently it's called proboscis (thanks google).  And look at those beady eyes - 10,000 lenses in there!  The last time we had a large eruption, 200, there were 11million recoded!  Now, don't get me onto how they count these events, but it's a pretty big number!
