We are getting rain every day and sunshine every day. Yesterday on my town ride, the sun was shinning in Nightcliff while pouring down rain at Lee Point. Along the ride I encountered Galahs Cacatua roseicapilla eating off the ground. They are so concentrated in certain areas that they are becoming a traffic hazard.

The Swamp bloodwood Eucalyptus ptychocarpa are in bloom and the pink flowers are highly visible.

The Beauty Leaf Calophyllum inophyllum is also just starting to bloom. The Beauty leaf has a fantastic scent and seems to be protected by the usual every watchful green ants.

The Broad-leaved Paperbark Melaleuca viridiflora are also flowering. I find it amazing that the same species of paperbark flower at the same time throughout the region, yet each of the different species of paperbark flower at different times to each other.
