Well, there are a lot of people but on the scale of things, it breaks down to a few.

Anyway, I’m still working through my photos and some are of birds, some of plants and of other things..

In Pulleytop which probably needs a thread for itself, we found lots of small bits of synthetic wool tied to shrubbery, often near or on the same bush where the pink ribbons were tied.

Outside Pulleytop, it looks like this.

Which when my mate that goes bush with me asked. “Why are we seeing more birds here?”.
My reply was, they are getting the best of both worlds and they’ll sit on the fence so we can see them.

I think you’ll find there is no “y” in Pulletop.

I’ll be uploading photos of interest here. link

My bird list for this place has zero mallee fowl on it. Sad indeed for this site was actually set aside in an attempt to give birds like the mallee fowl a place of respite at best.
I’ve been watching the place for fifty years. Since I had a driver’s license.

There are indeed rumours afoot about releasing mallee fowl here but as yet not even a sighting of their scratchings.

Apart from a lot of pink ribbons, there was this:

Now I’m no scientist, merely an observer but this kinda looked a bit weird.

I have actually arranged a few for this photo but believe me, they really weren’t outside the photo frame ever. I simply made it so I could photograph them where you could see them together.

Some of these contained samples of dried flowers.
Others were opened and if anything, contained water if they’d caught the last rain.

Now back to ribbons and synthetic wool. There were also instances of flowers encased in netted fabric and instances of where this enclosure had been blown off the plant it was tied to

In that a lot of these wool ties had any significance to any other than the researchers.
It is interesting research because we found Halgania cyanea to be a major canditate.

I believe the wool threads had been to tie a mesh around a flower.Some may ave been removed by the r esearchers or blown away in the wind as I did find a couple that had come off and was either windblown or dropped.

Also..

Looks like a Brachyscome. About eight feet up a tree.

Red arrow shows how high.

There was also this. A Dianella revoluta growing up in a tree.

On this site, Everything is always struggling. It gets quite dry in here.

This was on a good day, not long after more than half an inch fell from the sky.

This boomerang never came back.
