The grey-crowned babbler is a type of bird found in Kakadu National Park, and they're sometimes called yahoo birds because the males and females produce an in-sync call, with females crying 'yaa!' and males following with 'hoo!' 📷 Credit: Luke Paterson, NT Bird Specialists

Our #migratoryshorebird team presents a revised 2021 edition of the WingThing! It explores many aspects of the life and conservation of our shorebirds, illustrating in an accessible way just how special yet vulnerable they are. #scicomm ➡️ birdlife.org.au/proj.../shoreb…

Up to 216 Australian birds are now threatened with extinction. But 23 Australian birds became less threatened over the past decade, showing conservation actions can work.

The Darwin-Garramilla Shorebird Festival is on from 15-17 September shorebirdfestival.com.au

I am so bored with the word 'ecosystem' being co-opted by tech. An inter-related and inter-depentent network of engineered things does not make an ecosystem. The word becomes meaningless once it can be applied to anything. The words we use matter the meaning they convey mould us.

36 bird species recorded at Binybara Camp (Lee Point) bushland this evening ebird.org/checklist/S145… #binybara #saveleepoint #leepoint

I'll be guiding the BirdLife Top End bird walk this evening at Binybara/Lee point! Come and say hi 😁

A lovely evening on the BirdLife Top End bird walk around Lee Point. We saw 35 different species! Including a lifer for me, the Australian Owlet-nightjar. Birds are so much better than bulldozers. #saveleepoint Tanya Plibersek

Doctors, lawyers, scientists, and community members spoke this afternoon at a community event to engage with neighbours of Binybara Camp (Lee Point) to share an update on the campaign. Great local turnout and lots of energy from the community to take action 🌏🦜🍃💚

August is seniors month and today I lead a bird walk for BirdLife Top End and Darwin City Council at East Point Reserve. We recorded 35 species! birdata.birdlife.org.au/survey?id=9207…

THANKYOU to everyone who got us to this point! Those who raised the alarm, carried the message to the masses, watched over the camp, put their bodies on the line, and of course, to the Larrakia Elders, who I will forever be in awe of for their strength, kindness and resilience.
