20 Aug 2016 The Briars, Mornington Peninsula

Whilst doing a series of concerts at the Beleura Homestead on Mornington Peninsula I nipped over to a few birding sites inbetween the gigs. One of them was The Briars. I didn't have much time but will return - the wildlife is awesome.

Common Bronzewings are anything other than being common. They are beautiful birds with remarkable wing colours

The eastern yellow robin might be seen regularly but its still an awesome bird. Its bright yellow tummy reminds me of the red robins from the UK. Its remarkable it survives as it stands out against the bush.

And this wallaby was just about tame - I got within a metre or so and it didn't seem to bother. I had to move further away to get a good shot with the big lens
