From the President Well, another month has gone by and things are slowly getting back to
normal for us in Townsville. Kids are
back at school, most shops are open‐ing up, some restaurants and clubs
as well, albeit with restrictions.
It was great to finally get out and about as a club for an outing to the
Town Common! I was surprised to
hear that some of our club members had never been there before. There
are quite a few walking tracks to ex‐
plore for the more adventurous as well as several bird hides and other
areas you can just stop and observe.
Many took the opportunity to focus
on their macro, as the next theme is
actually Macro/Close up, of butter‐flies, flowers, dragonflies, seed pods
and other insects as well as a very cooperative wallaby and egret!
Some of us ventured out onto the
Lagoon Track where we saw brolga and pig footprints, stilts, black front‐
ed dotterels, different types of but‐
terflies, brolgas in the distance as well as a great view of Castle Hill
from a different perspective. Most of
us met up for coffee at the park af‐terwards for a chat.
Phensri and Len have kindly invited us out to their place at Toomulla
Beach on Saturday 20th June for an early morning get together to
photograph birds and anything else
that takes our interest, followed by morning tea. Please read any emails
and Facebook messages for details.
It’s amazing how we all see things differently. We can photograph the
same things but put our own per‐
spective on the subject. It’s always good to ask questions and learn
from others as that’s what our club is
all about.
There was a great sunrise and sunset
last Wednesday with a mackerel sky all day. The sunrise I observed from
my bathroom window. I wish I’d had
the foresight and energy to get over to the river with my camera! After
observing the clouds all day, I head‐ed to Jezzine for sunset and I wasn’t
disappointed. Always good to keep a
camera in the car or with you on walks just in case….
It will be great to get together on Monday nights again, with re‐
strictions of course. See you then!
Signing off,
Karen Grice (President).
