Been a while since I last uploaded – I seem to be the only one using #OzInverts but I am determined to make it a thing – so here's a Loveable Leioproctus (Leioproctus amabilis), a native Australian bee! I'm really quite fond of bees (indeed, all of Hymenoptera really).

After a lovely, warm, dry, but not overly sunny day, the rain has arrived - right on time by the BOM.
Although we were a bit slug-a-bed with the arrival of daylight saving, we did manage to show up for BusFEST. On the way home we shopped Werribee a bit and stopped for coffee at a new place in Watton St. The afternoon we spent resting up.
All in all, a pretty good day. Have some more Werribee pics.
Where I be. On the Piazza at Werribee
A mythical place’: how a Melbourne sewage farm became a haven for 300 species of birds
#Boonwurrung (also spelled Bunurong) language and people group, part of the #Kulin #FirstNations - their country/traditional lands & seas encompass the area from the #Werribee River in the north-west to #WilsonsPromontory in the south-east, including the #MorningtonPeninsula and #Westernport Bay.
Out here in December & January genuine bird freaks probably wrote this then:
🎶 Take me out to the #Werribee Sewage Treatment Plant...
I’ve heard the birds of Australia
Talking amongst themselves
I think we think the birds of Australia
Are saying one thing, when they’re really saying something else
Can you hear the birds of Australia?
They’re looking at us when they call
Listen to the birds of Australia:
They’re saying
“Kill ‘em all!” 🎶
