Superb Blue Wren Our first stop was Springbrook National Park Settlement Day Area which has a large covered picnic area, and it was just as well because the rain started to fall as we parked the cars.  We decided to have a cuppa and wait for the rain to clear.  After about half an hour, the sun came out  and we started our walk.  As we were leaving the day area we saw two raptors identified by their calls, Pacific Bazas.  Then we walked along the creek and saw White-headed Pigeon and Brown Cuckoo-Dove and other familiar birds as we entered the National Park.

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.
