Red-rumped Parrots in Ivanhoe Melbourne near Yarra

Feeding on ground under some Mistleoe in a Wattle tree. Not much wonder we nearly trod on them when we were walking on the trail! Note there are 2 birds in the middle photo!

Partial blindness-both eyes.Transient cortical bilateral homonymous hemianopsia

Norman vision Franktson Beach Park - no loss of sight = full visual fields. Partial blindness [hemianopsia] of both [bilateral] visual fields. Loss on left half of both eyes [left homonymous]. Also shimmering like an underwater view on the affected areas, I dont know what the technical term is for this. This sudden blindness is what happened two occaisions about 36 hours after coronary angiography 3 years apart. Each time it lasted about half an hour and cured itself totally. The next angiogram I had to have was done using hydrocortisone before and this prevented the problem twice. I have been told it is a form of allergic rection to the X-ray dye used in angiograms and is a type of migrane. That was what hppened to me in 2001 and 2004.
