Goodbye 2021, you have been a little bit prickly, like this festive looking Parrot Bush (Banksia sessilis) but there have been some wonderful moments throughout the year too. Wishing everyone a wonderful year in 2022, one full of love, health and happiness. Alice xx #SciArt

Something a little different… I don’t know much about moths but my best guess is that this little one is a Heliotrope Moth, Utetheisa pulchelloides, as it has 5 orange marks along margin. #illustration #art #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

We are proud to announce the magnificent Dryandra Woodland is Western Australia’s newest national park. 24 mammal, 98 bird and 41 reptile species are all known to call Dryandra home, including WA’s animal emblem, the numbat.

I drew this from a photo I took of a gorgeous dancing Euc during a very quick stretch break on a WA wheatbelt road trip. I didn’t spend enough time identifying it, which drives me mad, I am maybe thinking E. torquata?!? 🙈 #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

I love Tawny Frogmouths, seriously, they always seem like they are not impressed with a joke that everyone else thinks is funny (or that they just don’t want to be at ‘the party’). With their soft plumage & huge eyes, they are stunning camouflage experts #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

I would be a monster not to share this little video - what a handsome devil. Taken just near my driveway at #CharlesDarwinReserve #BadimiaCountry Bush Heritage

Great paper (and thread from Federico Riva): The disproportionately high value of small patches for biodiversity conservation — by Federico Riva & Lenore Fahrig. Echoes the words of Professor Stephen Hopper from the Southwest Australia Biodiversity Hotspot.

The Cowslip Orchid is one of the most common orchids in WA and one of the brightest. This is Caladenia flava subspecies. maculata, distinguished from the 3 other subspecies by the number of teeth on the labellum and their lemon colour. #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

In all my desert travels I have just witness a spectacular and amazing site just off the Tanami track. Diamond doves in their thousands coming into the last water soak in the desert areas. Look at the bushes behind! GhostBirdVolunteers 🦜🦅🦉🕊🐦👀 🦜#Desert #amazing #travel #birding #Doves 🐦👀

Banksia flowers spikes like on this Banksia prionotes (Acorn Banksia) are mesmerising from the top, with their flowers symmetrically opening from bottom to the top. #illustration #art #sciart #scicomm #wildoz

Well, Australian sandalwood didn’t win #AustraliasFavouriteTree on #Catalyst tonight. But I was so honoured that it was chosen, and to talk with Ann Jones ABC Science about the ecological and cultural importance of this ancient tree. #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 1/2

Also great to hear the passion of my friend, Badimia Elder Ashley Bell — a sandalwood custodian working to protect and restore sandalwood on Badimia Country. #Catalyst ABC Science #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 2/2
