Now happening in southern Australia…and some us do not have to leave town in order to enjoy surprisingly close views.
On at least one inner-metropolitan lake, Podiceps cristatus has recently become surprisingly much less wary of Homo sapiens.

As we had done many hundreds of times over the last three decades, my beloved and I walked to Lake Monger shortly before sunset on the second day of 2020.
This time, we witnessed something utterly unexpected.

The first two happenings were entirely natural.
The gleaming involved a little unwitting assistance from skyscrapers.
All occurred as daylight ebbed at Perth’s Lake Monger, on September 30, 2019. (photos copyright Doug Spencer)

The late September holiday weekend usually coincides with the peak of Perth’s annual springtime wildflower “explosion”.
Not in 2019: very low rainfall in August and September prompted many plants to flower early…or not at all.
At any time of year some things are in flower, but if you wish to experience Perth’s 2019 Spring wildflowers, head to places like this post’s destination very soon!

All photos taken in Perth’s Kings Park on Wednesday September 11, 2019.

You can encounter extraordinary flora and fauna without having to leave town!
In my home city even an easy stroll along a cement footpath is highly likely to yield something special.
