Today was cloudy and overcast as we set off for a walk at Tahmoor Canyon. However as the day progressed it turned out bright and sunny, a perfect spring day. The track had been changed and improved in spots. Mermaid Pools as always looked spectacular with lots of water pumping through. I had high hopes of spotting a few lizards but Rosco and Stephen spotted most of them.
When we where down in the canyon we came across a brown bird that quickly flew away from a nest right on the track. The nest revealed 4 bluey eggs with brown markings. Much excitement. Once home we did a bit of investigation and discovered they where Blackbird eggs - that was a bit of a disappointment. But it did lead to a new book discovery, Australian Birds: their nests and eggs by Gordon Beruldsen which is now part of our library.
