The dolphins who live in my front yard were active on the weekend.

There was an adult and two younger dolphins. They were chasing a school of fish in the river and just having fun.

The video was taken by my DIL, Hailian.

Well here’s a new one. I had a red fox in the garden this morning.

Foxes are not native to Australia but were released by English settlers to hunt.

This one had no fear of me and at times looked like it was playing.

I’m going to post a few things to show everyone a little of who I am.

This is me passing a 54 metre long Road Train in my Sprinter Campervan.

The RT is going 100kmh and the speed limit is 110 for me.

So why pass? The road is so long and flat that you can see it disappear over the horizon.

No worries. I am very lucky that there are so many animals and bids here.

This Willie Wagtail is one of a pair who live in my garden and is not happy with the Greater Egret. I think they were nesting at the time.

A Willie Wagtail seeing off a Great Egret out the front of the house. The little wagtail is part of a pair that live in the garden. I think they were nesting hence the aggression.

This was taken from the balcony of my house. On the other side of the river is the marina, townhouses and apartments.

The house faces west so we regularly get beautiful sunsets.

As well as the dolphins, we also have Rakali that were nearly hunted to extinction in the 1930s because of their fur

Dolphins outside my house on the Port River, Adelaide.
I normally see them in pairs or by themselves so this was a treat.
The river has a resident pod but dolphins from the gulf often visit.
