2013 11 138 Grey GoshhawkWe started our walk at the O’Reilly’s car park. White-throated Needletails were swooping and diving overhead and along the road the birdsong of Golden Whistlers, Black-faced Monachs, Green Catbirds and Brown Gerygones was ever present. 19 species were recorded by the time we reached the Moran’s Falls entrance.   The rainforest was looking beautiful with mossy rocks and tree trunks and small orange fungi everywhere. Noisy Pittas called often but unfortunately no sightings. And no sightings either of Riflebirds but they were heard. (Python Rock Track was still closed!)

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.
