In Search of Mistletoe

The days are very cold here at the moment. Intermittent showers don't make for walking far from home. I posted these two photos on Flicker a few years ago. The one above is of Box Mistletoe and the one below is of another species of Mistletoe, which I an not aware of its name.

I was contacted by someone who wanted to use this photo below for a book. As it is a good example of one parasite attached to another. The Mistletoe is growing on a Narrow Leaf Peppermint, Eucalyptus radiata. Now that I have a new camera and as the tree is just over the road from where I live, I decided to take some new photos. Alas the council in their wisdom have cut the mistletoe from the tree! While I was having a little curse to myself as this branch was close to the ground and easy to photograph, A Mistletoe bird was flitting about in the trees. As the bird spreads the mistletoe I thought that there may be a chance that the trees across the road may have some?

I found this one high in the tree. But it is an example of one parasite growing on another. The book that my photo is in is  Mistletoes of Southern Australia and is published by the CSIRO.
