CHRISTMAS CREEK VALLEY

Talk about Mad Dogs and Englishmen! Everyone (? sensibly) piked out due to the weather, except for Dawn and me.  It drizzled all day and was quite cold but with our wet-weather gear and jumpers we soldiered on and actually had a great day.  We left at about 7.15 am and joined the Fassifern Field Nats at Cave Rock Cottages picnic area at 9.00am.  There were twelve of us altogether.  Dawn and I saw quite a lot of birds beforehand on the way out, including a White-bellied Sea Eagle, Brown Quail, Black-shouldered Kite, Common Bronzewing and Buff-banded Rail.

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. The Way of Natural History, edited by Thomas Lowe Fleischner and published by Trinity University Press (Texas)
