Hoping 2011 is just as good for you.

Maybe a combination of each? ...lol

I've had a blast just trying to picture what kind of bird would leave her eggs on the ground scattered among fallen fruit.

Then I really confused myself by asking "why"?

I mean really, that's stupid!!! Those can't be eggs! or can it?

Thanks in advance!

God bless,Mudd

Those are fruit Mudd, the bowerbird is known for building these nests and decoration them with attractive things it collects in order to attract a mate.
You can find all sorts of brightly colored things in a nest, everything from Beatles shells, sea, shells, bones, fruit, stones etc.. And they get pretty upset if you disturb the layout.

Thanks Guys its good to hear from all of you i hope you all had a great Christmas!

As i said the pig hunting was a little difficult this year with the early rains, which just scatters the pigs, however we still had great success.

Had a few close calls this year Mick had brown snake strike at his legs when we where up in the territory, i tried my best to Step on a big Brown Snake latter in the year up in the Cape that took some serious footwork.
Then right at the end of the season i had a wounded pig charge me which could have easily ended badly but i was able to fend it off even though i was knocked over in the first charge, once i got hold of its back legs, i killed it with my knife.
I was also treed by a massive scrub bull whilst recovering Marks Bull up in the NT, have a lot of respect for those wild scrub bulls, man some of them are angry.


Here's an ol 190 from Ron at KME really had great success with this head this year


Here's a cool pic of a Frilled-neck Lizzard or "frilled dragon" they are a pre-historic looking thing, we see quite a few up in the north, the spend most of there time up in tree's (Arboreal)
will open there frills out as a defense when threatened to make itself look bigger.


right at the end of the season Mick and I had a bit of time to Hunt chasing pigs and Chital Deer near the Basalt wall, between us we killed 7 pigs in a couple mins out in this swamp.
