Oops, I should have specified that I'm driving from Sydney to Melbourne (and back), so I'm interested in anything along the way. I'm thinking I'll take the coastal route one way, and inland the other.

I'll be driving to Melbourne in October for PAXaus this year so I'm looking for things to do on the way. Recommendations for an autistic bird-nerd and photographer who doesn't like crowds? I'll definitely be checking out Healesville Sanctuary.

Red/Magenta gave me the most trouble, and I had to tilt my head a few times to get my floaters out of the way. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Australian Elephant Mosquito (Toxorhynchites speciosus). A most welcome sight in my garden. The adults don't drink blood at all (they prefer nectar and sap), while the larvae consume other types of mosquitoes! #insects #invertebrates

Well since the career change didn't pan out, I have to go back to making art as a living so here we go opening comms for March and April! Please reach out through e-mail only: [email protected] Here's the price sheet (and some example of past pieces in the next post) RTs are always helpful!

A friend just saw this in the wild and you know what? I stand by it

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

I've decided to go to @paxaus.bsky.social this year. My first con since 1990. I have six months to prepare - financially and mentally - but I'm already in panic mode.

I just want a world in which I can say wow these dill-flavored Triscuits hit the spot without feeling like I'm stealing time from absolutely necessary screaming from absolutely everyone including me

A lifer in my very own garden! I've heard Scarlet Honeyeaters before but in my 13 years living here I'd never actually seen any until this young male visited one of our callistemons. They're Australia's smallest honeyeaters! #birds

Same. It's all kind of overwhelming at the moment, but if tiny birds can carry on then so can we. #birds

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

The Epstein files name prominent Australians and senior US and UK officials. I’m calling on the Australian Government to order an independent review for survivors, for accountability, and for our national security. No one is above the law. Full statement 👇

False Garden Mantis! (Pseudomantis albofimbriata) I don't know what's false about it. It's in the Mantidae family, after all. Maybe it's because it looks like a regular Garden Mantis (Orthodera ministralis) but isn't? #insects #invertebrates
