winter @ Tarkinegrove

There will be a few nights below zero with varying degrees of frost, followed by a perfect winter's day. The deciduous trees are now tortured skeletons. 'Bandi' not as frequent now. Devils and Spotted Tail Quoll not as regular either as the food supply diminishes. Boobook still calls and he can be seen looking for food. Wedgetail and Brown Falcon can still be seen. Yellow wattle bird will appear any time soon. The regular small birds are active gathering insects as normal. The frogs calls are deafening. Tayatea apearing in the creek and dam again. The night sky is clear, if you can manage the dew, astrophotography is still possible with Leo resting on the western horizon and Capricorn rising in the east, June finds the Southern Cross around it's zenith.
