DARLINGTON RANGE ROAD, SARABAH, BOYLAND ROAD.

Golden WhistlerIt was a very early start from the Info Centre – 6am. Nevertheless the bird count started as soon as we alighted from the cars on Darlington Range Road. The Scarlet Honeyeaters were calling non-stop, as they seem to be doing where ever there are gum trees at the moment, there being a lot of Eucalypts in flower, earlier than usual. Things really started coming alive once the sun hit the trees. All the usual bush birds were around. We had a very good view of a pair of Fantail Cuckoos. Pardalotes, Golden Whistlers and Eastern Spinebills were very much in evidence.

Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life.
