Yesterday morning's 2 day old Lapwing chicks had reduced to this one by the afternoon. Then none this morning, after 3 days of cold weather. So, the female will be feeding to lay another clutch of 4 eggs - that will weigh half her body weight - and when they hatch it should be better chick weather.

Unexpected visitor at our moth light in the Perth Hills last night… a Pseudoscorpion (possibly Chernetini sp.) This guy was small, only ~4mm long, and was hitching a lift on the back leg of a Cycad Weevil, a behaviour known as phoresis #inverts #ausinverts #wildoz #arachnids #inaturalist #bugsky

When you think you’re being smart by preparing dinner early & setting the oven to come on at 4.15pm while you plan to be having a nap. Then you get up from said nap at 5.30pm only to discover the oven never came on as planned, indeed, never started at all! #ProgrammingFail

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record: - 256 eggs (252 in 2019) - 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019) - 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019). It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Yesterday at work I was walking to Nuclear Physics and almost stepped on this dragon.

The change of the season was marked this morning by the arrival of the first Angled Satin Moth (Thalaina angulosa) of the year. We see these stunning moths in the Perth Hills between April and June. #teammoth #ausinverts #wildoz #Lepidoptera #inaturalist

You've heard of Jack-in-the-box: enter drone-in-a-box! This nifty bit of kit has been put through its paces this season to see if it could be used to help researchers study wildlife on this remote and rugged island...

I’m seeing Paco Pena at QPAC in #Brisbane tomorrow night 7:30pm and I have a spare ticket. I’m happy to give it away (but not for resale). Best #flamenco #guitarist in the world imho, but he’s getting on and every time I see him I wonder if this might be the last …dm me if you’re local &interested

For those not following the #kakapo nest cam: a new chick (Heather-A3) has been added to Rakiura’s nest tonight. We’re testing whether she can cope with two (bigger) mouths to feed again. #kakapo2026 #conservation www.youtube.com/live/LDSWtyU...

This business - this real estate dealing in Synagogues, this money-changing in the temple... I don't believe this is anything but shifty mendacious chancers hiding their disgusting;ting crimes in a house of worship. I do not regard these people as practising jews. only shielded immoral grifters.

Tasmanian Devil Average Birthday also seems like a good day to highlight a new paper from Dr Douglas Kerlin, which uses different field measures of devil tooth development & wear to estimate age - besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“We’re announcing the deployment of an extra 12,000 troops to help finalise how completely we’ve already won and bring the already finalised mission to a final conclusion,” a White House spokesperson said. theshovel.com.au/2026/04/01/w...

Happy Tasmanian Devil Average Birthday, to all those who celebrate! 🥳 Devils have an annual mating season, which goes from late Feb until late April. That means, on average, devil joeys are born on 1st April. So if you wish a devil Happy Birthday today, you’ve got a good chance of being correct!

Voles!
