Insects Appearing

Candlebark Park, Templestowe, started walk around 8.30am, sunny, warm, windy.

Starting to see a few insects appearing after a couple of random fine, warmish days. Saw, but couldn't photograph about 6 dragonflies - possibly Emerald Tau - and the first distant butterfly.

Olive backed oriole and fantail cuckoo calling in the distance, have heard them around for about two weeks but never close enough to photograph.
