Was a big struggle to get moving on the coldest May night on record down here. Was a clear blue sky day with no wind. Did get moving at least to feed the chickens. We went down to the pub for lunch
View down the river to the waves breaking on the beach behind
Looking down the river to the digger playing marbles with huge boulders fixing the sea wall
Looking up the river. We do not often eat out like this - was nice in the sun. Did get out riding later to walk Seven Mile Beach NP
Mushroom time - a little purple
This one is yellow breaking through some black stuff
Part of the mission was to check this location. The experts were split on photos I shared two weeks ago - the one behind is probably the one I saw. One flowering in front - cobra greenhood
Pterostylis grandifloris
Side on showing the labellum
Greenhood rosette on the main beach access track - maybe nutans
Mushroom diversity
Orange with wrinkles
Pixie caps orchid - green labellum
Purple labellum - acianthus fornicatis
Quite large mushroom about to flatten out
Caught a bit of movement on this orchid - pollinator fly
Pollen showing
Mini white flower - two plastic pin heads
Acianthus fornicatus
Greenhood budding - most likely cobra greenhood
Growing in among the mosquito orchids
Love the folds
Long time to find a budding helmet orchid
Bud just forming on this greenhood - probably nutans
More mosquito orchid and pollinator action
Acianthus fornicatus and pollinator
Budding greenhood
First time sighting of this greenhood in this NP
Bunochilus longifolia
Part two of the mission was to check this greenhood - still not open
Matching rosette
More than one plant emerging - probably pterostylis grandifloris
Good to get a few more kms on the bike. Chose not to walk all the way to the beach. Next time. Did confirm that I only need to walk 500 metres south of the access road. No orchids for one km after that.
Dinner: My wife cooked beef stroganoff. I did potatoes and veges
Trade action: Not a lot to do ahead of options expiry. Sold SLV puts. Did a few covered calls for next month
