Well it is the most stunning ‘pilla I have ever seen. Just an amazing little bugger.
Do you know what the ‘philla will grow into????

We have a cool one in the backyard that when you poke it, two really stinky “horns” extend and it squirts a really stinky liquid into the air. It’s foul.

Nope. It’s the causeway at the local Dam.
Nope… But I have a tree full of them… There are heaps of Butterflies and Caterpillas in Moresby atm.

Oh I do hope you get to see what it turns out like….wonder if it’ll have yellow wings?? Are they doing much damage to the trees??

Only eating all the leaves… I figure they were here before I got to PNG, they will still be here well after I am gone, so I say “eat the bloody leaves you thieving greedy bastards!”

They let a bit of water out for the Hydro plant just down the valley…. The Dam regulates the speed of the water that heads down the Laloki to Rouna.

These birds huddles up against each other on the power lines. I first saw them in Townsville. Up here they’re called Papuan Swifts.

i see you are using the macro lens to good effect – now we await the telescopic. lol.

interesting – velvety or silky water – and what was the shutter speed on this ‘frozen’ water scene?
and here is a Bird.

some sort of finch – a seed eater?

papuan finch? – the nearest i can find in slaters field guide is the white bellied ‘glossy swiftlet ‘ – but its only 10cm and should have a mottled grey neck – oh well.

Mearnsia novaeguineae I think is the common name, if I have ID’d the bird correctly… they are only about 11cms in length… the Telescopic lens was in play for this’n.
telescopic shot for pepper…
and good night…
