Weekends That Were - February 2026

2.2.26

Minnippi

On site at 6 and walked the usual tracks. Quite birdy overall with a morning list of 49 species. Looked for insects and so on as has become my habit. Had a couple of Small Dusky-blues Candalides erinus on the M1 track that was a new butterfly for my site list for me – and the same Triangular Spider was on the same leaf as when we found it on Saturday.

Nothing overly exciting on the rest of the walk – a White-banded Plane Phaedyma shepherdi and Purple Crows Euploea tulliolus on the Airfield Track and a pair of Rufous or Little Shrike Thrush were probably the height of the morning - but I got some interesting insects and 'new' plants...
