Spending time outdoors often brings peace and clarity. Walking through fields, forests, or quiet trails helps people relax and reconnect with nature.
For Australian woman Kym Beechey, an avid walker and amateur photographer, these outings are also a chance to capture nature’s beauty.
One day, while exploring, she thought she had spotted a newborn tawny frogmouth, a bird resembling an owl.
Excited, she quickly grabbed her phone to snap a photo, convinced she had captured a smiling little bird.
To her surprise, the “bird” was actually a banksia pod. These pods grow on banksia trees,
native to southwestern Australia but also found in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Known for their unusual shapes,
banksia pods can look like birds or pinecones. They release seeds when opened, often triggered by the heat of bushfires.
Kym laughed at her mistake, delighted by the quirky discovery. What she first believed was
a rare bird sighting became a unique photo of nature’s strange but fascinating creations.
