The Other Side Of The Road

FF
This morning’s walk was on the other side of the road I normally go to near Buffalo Creek. I was treated to a Leaden Flycatcher doing his morning stretching and general tidy-up.

As I moved from the Open Woodland to the Vine Forest a pair of Rose-crowned Fruit-Doves landed not far and after I spooked them I was able to keep track of them by following their flight and then listening to the quiet “cooing” they made trying to hook-up again.

After annoying them for an hour or so I ran into another Northern Fantail starting to nest. This must be the fifth nest I have seen.

I then walked to the Mangroves and spotted a unusual neighbour who has such a beautiful little song.

The White Mangrove was in flower and I enjoyed the Aroma Therapy without any pesky mosquitoes ruining the solitude.
