| 9th August 2008 andy spall | dam you to hell - From: the Atherton platypus and other creatures of truth well israel i see you are trying to fool us but we all know the so called platypus you saw was actually just an aquatic wombat{wombaticus aquaticuss} to be exacte. i do find it very conveniant that you were not able to take any photos. oh yeah and as for the tree kangeroo do you truly think people will belive that there is such a thing? everybody knows kangeroos need dirt to bounce on. god!!!! |
| 23rd July 2008 Peter Ericsson | - From: a rare and wonderous thing Good on you! You have a good sense of humor. So much of our happiness comes from an appreciation of the little things in daily living. Great sample! Here is something I'd like to call to your attention. www.pbase.com/peterericsson/bluewinged_pitta |
| 16th June 2008 Scary Israel | - From: Lamington National Park I was pretty amazed myself at the ease I was finding the lyrebirds. One of them was right beside the Gardens by O'Reilly's! Apparently they are easier to find at this time of year (winter) but still! As for riflebirds, I saw several in the forest on the first day but found them to be rather shy. Once they realised I was around they would take off and disappear. But I saw one male on the morning to last right outside O'Reilly's in the tree by the Feeding Area, which was a bit of a surprise. |
| 15th June 2008 Peter Ericsson | Lamington - From: Lamington National Park I was there for one night. Worst night ever my wife said. Cold, turkeys stealing your food and not being left along by the Paddymelons. As for me, I loved it. Have to go back next year. Still need the Lyrebird. Can't believe how easy it was for you. I only did spend a couple of hours but still. Did you see your Riflebird? I saw one. But nothing like Regent Bowerbird. What an awesome creature that is! |
| 11th June 2008 Scary Israel | - From: A River Runs Through It I did visit Doi Inthanon, but when I was at the summit it was too early for other tourists :-) |
| 10th June 2008 Peter Ericsson | mountain peaks - From: A River Runs Through It I don't recall if you visited Doi Inthanon or not? It is simply like watching a theatric play to watch the local tourists come up to the Summit in their odd 'winter robes' ranging from the latest fashion wear, to rugs, towels, mittens and whatnot. Camera comes out, shouting and yelling, a cup of coffee and back down! |
| 2nd June 2008 me | but...but...but - From: photographs from the edge Hooters isnt open!!! i hope u went back later |
| 2nd June 2008 Andy | - From: photographs from the edge Did you find Justin in that reject shop |
| 2nd June 2008 esther | yay a koala - From: North Stradbroke Island YAY Israel you saw a Koala!! Am I jealous??? YES I AM!!!!!!!!! bring one home!! he could display nicely with the kiwi. have fun... |
| 25th January 2008 Cas | Park - From: Launceston: the town with a gorge I stayed in the hotel overlooking this park, and thought it was beautiful, it smelled of pine trees, and had a little train running round it, also a cihildrens park, were familys had there teas there on the Barbacues, and it was also a place to sit till the sun set, it is such a change from the rest of Aus, as it actually has green grass and trees, instead of dry bark, it also has a pond with ducks in, I also watched a couple Salsa dancing on the band stand, they had a speaker with music on, Yoga lessons are tought in the park as well as Ti Chi, it was just like walking in to a post card, I loved it. |
| 28th November 2007 Scary Israel | - From: general bird stuff around Hobart I don't have a hatred of sci-fi movies, just ones that should have never been made. Michael Bay is an insult to all that is good in Hollywood. Transformers is to sci-fi movies what elephant polo is to the Olympics. |
| 27th November 2007 Justin | grrrr - From: general bird stuff around Hobart You must of watched a different transformers movie because the one i watch was awesome........im sick of your hatred of all good sci fi movies im gonna kill your marine fish (Any actual marine fish deaths are enitirely daves fault) |
| 22nd November 2007 Scary Israel | - From: Melaleuca, parrot town there had been juice in the bottle. I think he liked the taste. |
| 21st November 2007 Divey Spidey | - From: Melaleuca, parrot town Why would a rat be wanting a water bottle??? |
| 16th November 2007 Divey Spidey | - From: shy little devils Wow, those photos are great. Looks so close, like you're at a zoo or something. Wish I were there :) |
| 16th November 2007 Peter | red devils - From: shy little devils So glad for you that you got to see one. The fulfillment of a dream I suppose. God is good! |
| 10th November 2007 Peter Ericsson | imperfection - From: Origma and Batman I C U R starting to realize the world is an imperfect place full of imperfect people. Don't let it get you down, keep your face to the sunshine and there is no place for darkness! Remember, there is always the silverlining to look for...... |
| 5th November 2007 Peter Ericsson | Rail - From: Sydney is a hole Nice shot of the Rail......nice to see you on the road again,,,keep up the postings...makes for enjoyable reading...... |
| 4th October 2007 Peter | prices - From: whales and kites It is sad how everything always has to be so overpriced. Whenever we travel in the western world we find the same problem. Like visiting caves in Australia. Why pay hugs bucks to look inside a dark hole? Same thing in Thailand for nothing. Anyhow, money is a great motivator and without it lots of these places would have gone down. |
| 21st August 2007 Peter Ericsson | Orange Dove - From: Taveuni, "the garden island" That Orange Dove sure is a winner. Mindblowing.....I didn't know Fiji had such colorful and unique birds........... Good on you for correcting the tourists. It takes guts to stand up. |
| 21st August 2007 Divey Spidey | Yay - From: Taveuni, "the garden island" Go cane toad swim club! I love the gecko photo, he just looks so happy. Even though he's probably irate due to you throwing my top at him... |
| 19th August 2007 Scary Israel | swallows - From: Off to Fiji... re welcome and Pacific swallows it depends on how you deal with splitting and lumping. I treat the NZ/Aus bird as Hirundo tahitica neoxena, some people treat it as a seperate species (H. neoxena). |
| 18th August 2007 Peter Ericsson | yuur travels - From: Off to Fiji... Great to see this trip coming about. I look forward to your updates. That Fiji Parrotfich is excellent! Is the Welcome Swallow really the same as Pacific Swallow? I thought Welcome was endemic to Australasia region. I better check. Glad you are having company on this journey..... Peter |
| 18th August 2007 Divey Spidey | - From: Off to Fiji... Awww I miss playing with cute geckos. I want a pet one! |
| 23rd March 2007 Peter Ericsson | Very cool! - From: If the Fonz was a bird... Fantastic sighting! So happy for you. The bird looks a bit like our Tesias in shape. I didn't try for it but sure will if I ever come back. I didn't know the south Island Robin was at Arthur's Pass. Great find! Yours Peter www.thaibirder.blogspot.com |
| 26th October 2006 Peter Ericsson | - From: Singapore again... You have been very persistent in your birding adventures. Thus you have been rewarded with plenty of memories. It surprises me you didn't connect with Striped Tit-Babbler in Thailand. It is everywhere if even a bit hard to see. It took me years to see the Rufous-backed Kingfisher. Well done! |
| 18th October 2006 Peter Ericsson | warning - From: Krabi and Khao Nor Chuchi: good and bad birding Ha! I believe I warned you about KNCC didn't I? Still, every time I go there I want to go right back in. You have to get the birds by call and then pursue. Once you start using a scope and seriously look at waders you will get the 'itch'. They are my favorite group of birds. Yours Peter |
| 6th October 2006 Kevin | Same thing here - From: "Worst episode ever" I had the same thing happen. It seems that the ticket touts and information people don't really know. I decided to stay in KL and try again in the morning. We will see how it goes. |
| 5th October 2006 Peter Ericsson | - From: a not-so-good night out My, oh, my, what an adventure. Bet you won't go off inside the djungle without proper survival kit again. Anyhow, thank God u made it out. |
| 25th September 2006 Peter Ericsson | your story - From: Taman Negara Hi Israel, I like your style of writing. Honest with a fair bit of humour. The tropical rain forest is almost overwhelming at times. But as you say: I could stay here forever! As for Khao Yai, you simply hit it during a low period. At other times it is as rewarding as can be. Even in the tropics there are seasons even though they are not as distinct. Yours Peter |
| 6th September 2006 corrie | Cause of death - From: Preparing for my untimely death Too bad you didn't add"stung in the heart by a stingray" on your list |
| 5th September 2006 Justin | 3 cheers for stingrays - From: and Pattaya ahoy are u gonna do a dedication on your site to steve erwin i know he was your hero and u will miss him greatly such a tragedy to have him die by a stingray i mean if only he had not pulled the spine out of his heart..... i guess he died as he lived....A IDIOT!!!! |
| 2nd September 2006 Justin | dirty bastards - From: one day in Bangkok u should of put a rope around the squirel stall keepers neck and tied them down to the curb drain and let trafic run them over or street kids urinate on them. On a brighter note love the site even though im not a birdie , u should keep it up when u come back and add NZ stuff now that u have the sexy camera P.S didnt i see that puppy lover sighn on the back of tobies car? |
| 23rd August 2006 Ingo | greetings - From: Taman Negara Hi Israel, I'm sorry you didn't get your dream views of Garnet Pitta. But then, that's a good reason to go back there. Was nice seeing you out there, good luck in Thailand now! Cheers, Ingo & Conny |
| 15th August 2006 Ariel | - From: today was my birthday. Your big, fancy and very expensive birthday present is in the post- I hope it gets there!! :) |
| 15th August 2006 Ariel | remosquito bites - From: Templer Park Well, that's good news for anyone with bets on number 1 or 2 on your 'returning early or untimely death' list!! |
| 2nd August 2006 Ellie from KL | 31st Aug - Malaysia Independent Day - From: Taken for a (taxi) ride in Malaysia Hi Israel, hope you'll have fun in KL. You will see a lot more of Malaysian flags because August is our independent month. We will celebrate our Independent Day on 31st August. You seem to know fishes, why not going to the islands for diving or snorkelling to experience swiming with the fishes. |
| 1st August 2006 Robyn | - From: Jurong bird park Are you going to Singapore Zoo? You can feed fruit to the manatees there! Cute! I learnt that from some random persons blog. p.s. In ecology today, the lecturer was talking about your brother & his research!!!!! I felt embiggened through the vague association. |
| 31st July 2006 Robyn | - From: Insects!!! Bring me back a softshell turtle! It's soooooooo cute! |
| 30th July 2006 Colin | No Title - From: day two: Pulau Ubin I like your sense of humour! Take care, have a good trip. |
