Being out and about in cold weather apparently burns more calories as the body works harder to maintain core temperature. Cold weather walking can also boost the immune system, stimulate deeper breathing, boost vitamin D, and improves mood. While we don’t have snow on the ground, some days it has been pretty cold lately but there is still plenty happening in our parks and reserves.
At Golden Whistler Reserve, the Nodding Greenhood Orchids are putting on a great show at present. Listen for the tchew-tchew call of the Eastern Yellow Robin and noses to the ground for some interesting fungi.
A pair of Pelicans have arrived at McNeilly Park wetlands.
Down at Bellbird Park wetland, the Superb Fair-wrens have enjoyed our mulch-spreading and a couple of Swamp Rats were undisturbed by our working bee.
So, time to rug up and check out some nature on our doorstep!
