Abundant as adults in our forest at this time of year, massing on various plants, in this case Tylophora barbata in the 1st 2 photos and Correa reflexa in the 3rd, although Marsdenia rostrata is where they are most often seen, or plants adjacent to it.

Feathers found in our forest. From the barring and hint of yellow on the wing feathers I deduce that they belong to a Gang-gang, and not Crimson Rosella, which are common here. We see or hear the odd small flock of Gang-gangs passing through, fewer than we used to back in the 1980s-90s. I assume this one was taken by a raptor, since they spend all of their time up in the tree canopy, out of reach of mammalian predators.

Resprouting from the base at c. 8 months after a deliberate burn in this small patch of heath. I'm not sure about the ID; could be ulicifolia, but the phyllodes match my brownii photos better than my ulicifolia photos. Ecology of Sydney plants series in Cunninghamia says brownii is a resprouter from the base and ulicifolia fire response is variable and it may resprout.

Growing in very poor, shallow soil derived from rhyolite, in a small heath patch burnt in about May 2023. This plant has leaves about 3mm wide, with no sign of revolute margins or fine serrations, so I am pretty sure it is S. armeria. There were some plants with narrower leaves, c. 2mm but still lacking serrations or revolute margins, so I think they must all be armeria.
