This was another short nature walk along a section of Wolli Creek – between Bardwell Park and Turrella. I wanted to see how the Hyacinth Orchids had seen last trip were progressing and also spend bit more time photographing the flying foxes while some of them have babies.
The orchids were very impressive. On the last trip – only one had been in flower. This time I counted a cluster of about 10 in that spot – all nicely out in flower. I think they are the Blotched Hyacinth Orchid (Dipodium variegatum).
Then I continued past the rock climbing area and the old swimming pool to the flying fox camp. I spent an hour or two there trying to get a photo of a female in flight with a baby hanging on. I saw a lot of females with babies, and I saw a lot of flying foxes in flight – but they move fast and are hard to photograph successfully. This is something I will have to keep trying.
More photos from the afternoon are online on my website here.
