It’s #AppleDay! A challenge: find yourself a local grown apple! (Or local-ish). Once you’ve got your apple, give yourself a #mindful moment & take time over eating it. Really notice the crunch, the unique texture, the flavour. instagram.com/p/CGmpwhghLGP/…

Well it took hiking 19km up an exposed sandstone gorge in the tropical heat of the Northern Territory but it was totally worth it to see this beautiful #RedGoshawk female and her young recently fledged from the nest #WildOz

Wishing our CEE community and their families a healthy and restful holiday season and Happy New Year!

Did you know the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden is the only botanic garden anywhere in the world located within a United Nations World Heritage Area?

Behold the first ever Red Goshawk known to be 2 years of age thanks to tracking this bird since it was a fledgling in 2019 (notice the antenna protruding from its back). See that it's legs are now yellow, the belly has turned white from rufous & the head is a light grey (1/5)

These are the markers used to identify adults from juveniles in the field but the age at which these features develop was previously unknown. Also, the extent of white on the belly was thought to be indicative of age but looking at this 2yo female shows this is not the case (2/5)

Amazing colours 😍🌅 #sunset #perth #nature

A pensive Peregrine Falcon enjoys the clifftop views at Harbour Trust's North Head (NSW). 🦅 This bird has been regularly sighted along the eastern cliffs by our team of field ecologists, who recently wrapped up another year of bird surveys at North Head. 📸 A Wright/AWC

Spent some time with these lovely Blue Gums today #eucbeaut

Nature's fireworks ... Australia is one of the first countries to welcome the new year, so my feathered friends and I wish you a happy New Year's Eve and a healthy and prosperous year ahead. 😊

#8 Countdown of my favourite dozen bird photos from 2021 In what was one of my first outings with my new 100-500 lens, I slowly made my way towards a group of eastern curlews - and it paid off. Port Clinton, Yorke Peninsula

It is has been 40C plus all week here at #CharlesDarwinReserve. The heat has brought a gazillion flies but also some many birds and kangaroos trying to stay cool. Bush Heritage

Finally caught up with a bogey bird along Kings Tableland rd in the Blue Mountains today. Managed to snap a photo and all! Spotted Quail-thrush #WildOz

Why would anyone suggest that Tanya Plibersek has been demoted? I would have thought the #Environment portfolio one of the most critical of all.

Sometimes we forget about the health benefits, physical & psychological that we can derive from time spent in nature. These can be especially beneficial for the elderly & terminally ill, many of whom find it difficult to “get out there”See more Dying With Dignity Victoria dwdv.org.au/other-services…
