Our Hakea laurina (Pincushion Hakea) is flowering well this year.

Sometimes you hear the argument that plantings only support common species. I found 7 Squirrel gliders in 3 plantings on a farm tonight. Same plantings have also recently hosted Swift Parrots, Glossy Black Cockatoos, Pink-tailed Worm-lizards, Superb Parrots + many woodland birds

Come ans work with us!

Yesterday, I got our orchid on ABC national TV news after its best spring in ten years. But seriously, some great exposure for the endangered Australian Painted-snipe, a bird that appears to be in deep trouble.

A rocky mountain stream is not where we’d we normally consider finding an Australian Painted-snipe but cattle farmers near Cooma in NSW have done just that! We also have a new record from SW VIC: paintedsnipe.com.au/recent-sightin…

It’s shaping up to be the best season in years: paintedsnipe.com.au/recent-sightin… With two new Brisbane sightings and one in Sydney, we now know where 52 birds are across 20 sites: NSW: 33 at 8 sites QLD: 8 at 5 sites VIC: 8 at 5 sites SA: 2 at 1 site ACT: 1 at 1 Photo by Peter Stevens

They said I was mad, said I was chasing a myth, but after decades of searching I present you with the first ever documentation of the Phillip Island Tree Wallaby! (Sitting about 3m above ground) #cryptozoology

Mathematical proof: wombats are perfect. ❤️ From their noses to their rumps, wombats perfectly fit the golden ratio. A wombat's bum is extremely hard and is their biggest weapon. They can use their bum to block their burrow and potentially to crush predators! #WombatWednesday

Invasive species are a significant threat to Aussie biodiversity. 🌱 We're calling citizen scientists to report sightings of the invasive fungus Myrtle Rust with Atlas of Living Aust. Grab your Myrtle Rust reporting guide: spr.ly/6010X3oQw 📷 | Geoff Pegg

👀Look at these magnificent recently fledged baby bitterns we just found this weekend near Griffith, already ~200 metres from their nest. Easily spotted with our drone, the old nest would have been a hive of secret activity over the past two months. #bitternsinrice

Another reminder that it’s not just Bunnings Warehouse that sells wildlife-killing rat baits, but the majority of sales are through Coles Supermarkets and Woolworths. Our research showed these anticoagulant baits kill reptiles, birds and mammals. Call on retailers to stop selling these products!

Great weekend enjoying Woomargama National Park - camp out with the vols Sat night and community nature walk today - highlight was seeing this little guy last night 😍 Greater gliders! #greatanimalcrappyphoto #slopes2summit #nationalparksrock Holbrook Landcare

Had a great day & camp out at Woomargama National Park - Tin Mines with the WNP Vols on the weekend. We heard & saw many bird species, banjo frogs were calling & plenty of roos, wallabies & possums, we even saw a few Greater Gliders! Very exciting! Kylie Durant @D0CT0R_Dave

👀 👀 👀 Look at the crazy-beautiful plumage of these birds! Our five latest Australian Painted-snipe superstars - Thomasina, Knighty, Charuni, Hope and Dan - remain on the private property in the Macquarie Marshes where we caught them.

One of two male plains-wanderers found out north of Jerilderie last night. #birding #longtermmonitoring #grasslands #nswriverineplain #plainswanderer #wandering
