Pavement circles

It's been very wet lately in Townsville and there is a thick, slippery coating of dark green algae on the concrete pavement and retaining walls at the DPI Station at Oonoonba, where I work. But there are strange circles in the green. Something seems to be eating the algae. A fungus? A virus? Proto- or metazoan?

Stone curlew pair at Oonoonba

via youtube.com

There are stone curlews all over the grounds of the DPI station at Oonoonba where I work. The entire area is to be developed for medium density housing. I worry about the curlews. I hope they will survive.

Lizards everywhere at work today. They seem to like the hot wet weather. Also snakes and a turtle...
