Some cute and prickly gang gang cockatoo babies 🥲

New species of weasel discovered in the Hengduan Mountains of Sichuan Province, China.

#PearlTheDog keeping an eye on the neighbourhood.

30 native bird species on my morning walk with #PearlTheDog. Is already 25° and humid.

How does global warming cause colder winter storms? whowhatwhy.org/2019/11/23/t...

Baby birb holding onto my finger for comfort as I put him back in his nest box.

After the rain.

Happy Monday peeps! Did anyone else see the rainbow halo around the moon last night?

Good morning & happy sunday

@deannicolle1.bsky.social hey dean, I picked these fruits from trees in a garden in Halls Gap (Vic) & am trying to determine if one is E.sinuosa or both E.lehmanii. No bud pics sorry. Can you offer any insight?

Guys! Drop Crocs!! 😱 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trying to study but this happened. 😭

Home from work and chilling on the deck with some pals & a tasty treat.

“FrogID Week kicks off at midnight tonight!” www.frogid.net.au/frog-id-week

In order to protect & care for the places & wildlife we love we must have stronger environmental laws, far stronger than what @australianlabor.bsky.social has proposed. Well done, @ausconservation.bsky.social! Proud to be joining the voices calling for the @albomp.bsky.social government to do more!

Looking for a different gift idea this year? How about a #kakapo adoption? Adoptions are open again until 25th Nov, with postage or email options. These fund a significant proportion of our programme and make a real difference to the #conservation work we do. Thanks! www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/kak...

Can confirm #PearlTgeDog loses even more hair when she's wet.

After 4 years or so, my seed grown Callistemon is flowering for the first time and it's PINK! Also, a gang gang just flew past my place. Squeee!

Went for a walk. Walk was good.

I call this one "Rising sun reflected on school fence".

A what now!?!

One year later and I HAVE BABBEHS!!! #OzPlants #Mistletoe

One year later and I HAVE BABBEHS! #OzPlants #Mistletoe

The slug is carnivorous, it is eating the beetle.IT HAS TEETH. 😳😳😳

I swear I left two schmackos on the table. #PearlTheDog

What's happening in the garden this spring? Plenty. Check it out. Kangaroo paws: pink, red & original.

Why do some plants have green flowers? What's the ecological advantage? Anyway, here are a couple of tiny bromeliad flowers for you to enjoy.

Sunday "fun run" day followed by a friend's fortieth birthday. Zero complaints.

Still can't do code. R sucks balls Gonna fail & be a loser. So anyway, I made this instead.

The art. The artist. #PearlTheDog

I have always thought this was standard brain?

Several hours of fucking around with R have culminated in near tears and an email full of screenshots of my failures. Maybe I'm not smart enough for this shit.

Saw an odd trio on the morning walk today. Skip, Skip, fox!

My perfect purple shoes @colourpurplegal.bsky.social

My unsolicited #eel fact for today is that there are ten species of Gulper Eels (Saccopharynx) while there is only a single species of Pelican Eel (Eurypharynx ).🐟 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwD...

Last night's moon was a bit spesh.

"Rainforest that has been regenerating for 30 years after being used as cattle pasture showed a remarkable increase in butterfly colour diversity." It turns out rewilding even has the power to restore the colours human activities are draining from the natural world. share.google/0cifnGipUkG5...

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday! #art

@2fbs.bsky.social there something not quite right about my Monte Carlo bikkies. They need to hire someone for better quality control.

Sad to report that we've lost another #kakapo, and a particularly significant one. Solstice was the last kākāpō rediscovered, found on Rakiura in 1997. She died on the weekend as a result of complications from the #disease cloacitis. There are now 237 kākāpō left. #conservation #parrots #birds

It's officially 𝐁𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡! 🦇What do you most appreciate about bats?

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

🎶 goooood morninggggg 🎶 Morning walk saw 25 native bird species including 2 exciting rare inclusions: Satin bower bird And a mistletoe bird!!

Trying to wrap my head around stats. Permission to cry?

I'm blogging again, because sometimes I just want to write about what I want to write about. The latest is on a very spiky dinosaur and why dinosaurs are always going to be stranger than our expectations.

Sunday night done right.

US President Donald Trump has responded to a question from the ABC by telling the journalist he is "hurting Australia" and suggesting it will damage relations with the US. Full article at ABC www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #auspol
