Evening Storytelling - The Book of Deer Project Spooky Tales with Pauline Cordiner and Derek Jennings

The Book of Deer, possibly Scotland’s oldest surviving manuscript – is returning to the North East of Scotland for the first time in over 1000 years. The book itself will be exhibited at Aberdeen Art Gallery but the Book of Deer Project, who have been campaigning for many years to have the illuminated manuscript visit the area, have many events running in the North East this year - many focussing around Aden Country Park and Deer Abbey where an archaeological dig will be carried out. I'm chuffed to be doing a total of 6 sessions (3 on the 7th April and 3 on the 11th June) for families incorporating storytelling and living history - but I'm also going to be doing two adults only evening storytelling sessions with Derek Jennings from the Book of Deer Project. You can get your tickets for the first evening session on Eventbrite (details below) "Join Derek Jennings and Pauline Cordiner for an adults-only evening of scary stories from Aden and the North East of Scotland. Expect ghostly tales of the Monks of Aden, the cursed families of Buchan and the canny chiel who summoned Auld Nick himself!"

Sunday/Monday, 27-28 September

Sunday

We went out for a drive but we were quite late getting away for some reason and it was a really long drive so it was well after dark (maybe almost 8pm?) before we got home – but it was a fabulous day.  We started in the rain and not far out of town, we copped some hail, but for most of the day it was warm and sunny – hardly even needed to wear a jacket outside the car.

We did a big loop through Goongerah, Bonang, Tubbut, Deddick, McKillops Bridge, Wulgulmerang, Seldom Seen (very cute name!), Gelantipy, Murrindale and Buchan – I called it the Amboyne Loop because I found that on a map when researching the area in Warragul.  Despite the map showing a place called Amboyne, the only sign we saw of something like that was the Ambyne Bridge (without the o).

It is hard to describe the day.  It started with heavy dense forest, then horrifically burnt-out forest that was starting to recover a little.  A lot of the trees had new growth completely covering their trunks, all the way to their branchless tops. The only undergrowth was just starting to show green, but a lot of the tree-ferns looked quite untouched.  Many of the trees had blackened trunks for perhaps 10 metres above ground, then pale creamy grey above, with relatively little sign of damage - other than huge wide strips of bark around the base that may have been natural in any case.  There were deep valleys (some were very deep and incredibly steep - even in the pastoral areas) where all you could see was the gaunt trunks of the trees with a complete covering of green umbrellas at ground level – looking down on a mass of apparently healthy tree-ferns.  Then there were patches where the fire had obviously not invaded at all – verdant areas of forest surrounded by blackened devastation. It was almost eerie at times. Driving 100 km through this, I saw one single bird although Heather said she saw 2 others.  It must have been a terrifying conflagration at the time and accessing it to fight the fire would have been nigh on impossible.

Then we were into wonderful green grass, almost like a vast lawn, with cattle and a few sheep happily grazing with no hint of trauma.  We saw quite a few birds and as we went further north and back into the forest, we saw a stag (just wandered off the road in front of us), lots of birds, numerous kangaroos, a few wallabies, even rabbits.  Everything looked normal and healthy and it was a wonderfully pleasant drive.  We stopped a few times, once at Deddick on the river and the air was alive with birdsong and we saw quite a lot of birds we hadn’t seen often before.  We wandered around for an hour or two and it was quite wonderful.  We certainly live in a beautiful country.  We saw quaint old broken-down houses and sheds, derelict bridges, picturesque farms, dazzling mountains and forests, wonderful old-growth trees and miles of scenery to die for.  The road was often little more than a track, sometimes very narrow gravel tracks and hundreds of places where we had to detour around bits of branches across part of the road.

It was a fabulous day, but it was well after 7 and quite dark before we got home. We drove 250 km or more and saw maybe a maximum of 5 or 6 cars all day. I found the last hour or so pretty challenging, driving on narrow winding roads in the dark, but there are so many things to go back for, to explore more fully, including several places where we plan to do some of the advertised walks – we will definitely need to leave home a couple of hours earlier on future excursions along this route.

Monday

Our caravan park is great – fairly quiet with rich green lawns, shady trees and birds, birds and more birds.  It is surrounded by mature trees and the Snowy River rushes past on the other side of the road.  As well as the river, there is a creek and quite a large lagoon that starts at the bottom of the park with both scrubby and mature trees, areas of reeds, long grass, boggy areas and the lagoon itself – a very varied habitat for lots of birds.  I took a short walk in the late morning and got excited by all the birds so went out again for a couple of hours in the afternoon and identified at least 43 different species in my walk of no more than about a kilometre.  There are numerous kookaburras, one of which spends a lot of his time on the posts marking the empty van-sites behind us. He sits there, drops down to dig out a worm of catch an insect and flies back up again - time after time, no more than 20 metres from us.  The birdsong is wonderful with Golden and Rufous Whistlers, numerous Honeyeaters, Blackbirds, Lorikeets and three varieties of parrot to name but a few.

A week or so ago, I wrote about scaring out a tiny Brown Thornbill from its den hidden in the grass on our Rokeby/Crossover walk.  My morning walk turned up an equivalent experience.  There is a very small culvert across the tiny creek at the bottom of the park and as I approached it a female Superb Fairy-wren flew past and disappeared into the grass beside the creek.  It was so remarkable, just wriggling through the grass and disappearing, that I watched for a few moments and out it flew again.  The male was hovering nearby and I was just going to photograph it when the female flew back into the same patch of grass – then out again a few moments later.  I watched it do this 4 times within several minutes and concluded that somewhere in the grass, it must have a nest and it was catching insects to feed its chicks.  The male fussed around continuously, but never approached the nest, just protected the female and tried to distract me.  I will post a photo of the patch of grass, but I have no idea how the nest is hidden in such thick grass.

After the excitement of my two walks, I was anxious to share it with Heather so just before dusk, we followed the same route again and saw lots of the birds I had seen earlier.  I had spent quite a bit of time trying to find an Eastern Whipbird that had been calling near the lagoon all day.  I had only ever seen one before, but their call is as distinctive as the bird is elusive.  I have heard them many times but had only ever seen one before – in Audley, just south of Sydney. Heather is much better at detecting the direction of calls than I am (maybe a feature of my hearing aids) and she pointed me to where the call was coming from.  I clambered into the shrubbery/scrubbery and saw two of them scrambling around in the leaves a couple of metres in front of me. They were hard to see in the gloom so I backed out and they happily flitted around in the open right in front of us for several minutes.  Heather played their call on her phone app and the birds immediately came up quite close to see who was invading their privacy. I didn’t have my camera with me unfortunately, but as we walked away, the birds continued to call after us – it really was as if they were conversing with us. It was a truly magnificent experience for me and they are wonderfully cute and active birds.  I love them and the whole day was fantastic with so much great birding after such a dearth of memorable sightings in Warragul.
