Eagle View, Mount Barker, Strathalbyn and back to Eagle View, South Australia.

A day around the farm with a run around the shops in between.

Australia, Day Thirty Five.

Crescent Honeyeater (Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus).

I was up and about quite early and saw the regulars from the cottage which were Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla), Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita), Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus), Rainbow Trichoglossus moluccanus) and  Musk Lorikeet (Glossopsitta concinna), Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans), Crescent Honeyeater (Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus), Little Raven (Corvus mellori), House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula), Tree Martin (Petrochelidon nigricans), Superb Fairywren (Malurus cyaneus), European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), both Little (Anthochaera chrysoptera) and Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata).

Blue-tongued Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides).

Later Ian and I went for a drive across to Mount Barker where Ian wanted some new work togs and a few other bits but we went via the recycling Center near Hahndorf and then later down to Strathalbyn as they also need a new battery for the fridge / freezer set up in the car.

Blue-tongued Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides).

During the drive round I saw Nankeen Kestrel (Falco cenchroides), Australian Ibis (Threskiornis molucca), Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra), Dusky Moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa), Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta jubata), Blue-billed Duck (Oxyura australis), Little Pied Cormorant (Microcarbo melanoleucos), Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis), Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles), Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus) and as we were coming back across country from Strath we saw a Blue-tongued Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides) in the road and a second dead one which had already been run over unfortunately. 

Well I though it was Funny!!!!

So Ian stopped got out and moved it but I took a couple of shots of it on my phone before he walked up the back and released it well away from the road.

Back at the farm I found a can of something Called "Start Ya Bastard" which made me chuckle, later we went over to a neighbors farm and moved some cattle around for him as he was away and whilst doing this we had nice views of several Elegant Parrots (Neophema elegans).
