We heard a few of these out camping, Australia's smallest owl the Southern Boobook, it sounds exactly as it's spelt- 'boo-book' 🦉 #owl #bird #drawing #artwork #wildlifeart #birdart
Two tawny frogmouths perched on a palm tree branch. Both have large, bright orange eyes and fluffy facial feathers, and they stare directly toward the camera while sitting side-by-side.
Looking lively just before taking off for the night to hunt for insects.

The rosy bluebush is found in southern Australia, often close to saline areas such as salt pans.

Corgatha pleuroplaca
This beautiful moth was definitely the standout of last night’s moth visitors. This species is endemic Western Australia but seems to only be recorded infrequently with just 16 records in iNat.

An Australian council has sprayed Glyphosate weedkiller on a 50-metre-long patch of native grass that had been documented as breeding habitat for a bird species listed as vulnerable to extinction.

They do have a distinctive loud buzz. I usually hear them before spotting them.
A spotted-tail quoll, alert and facing the camera. It is standing on a cut log.
Our local quoll showed up again and this time I actually managed to get a decent picture. This might be the best thing that has ever happened to me. #auswildlife #wildoz #marsupial #mammal
What a stunning little man 🥰 #birds #nature #wildlife #photography
Quokkas are known as the world's happiest animal, you can see why! #drawing #quokka #australia #wildlifeart
Look! Listen! All those bird calls you can hear? It’s “just” sounds coming from the lyrebirds. 🤎 #Kinglake3763 #WildOz #birds
Went spotlighting last night for the first time in a while and saw a brush-failed phascogale for the first time in a while! These carnivorous marsupials love climbing around in trees but I’ve never seen one in the canopy and I’d assumed they didn’t go up that high. This one proved me very wrong:
Absolutely gorgeous 😍
The last popn of the #auswildlife #southerngreaterglider (Petauroides volans) in the western Strathbogie Ranges numbers less than 100. It has survived land clearing, fire and genetic bottleneck. Can it survive an uncertain #climate future? 🌏

Table summarising the number of eucalypt species growing at Currency Creek Arboretum.
Screenshot from BOM indicating rainfall deciles in South Australia over 24 months to December 2025.
The arboretum reached 'peak eucalypt diversity' in early 2024, when we had 95% of all euc species growing (820 of the 840 known species).
Since then, we've lost 50 to 100 species due to 'drought'. With runaway anthropogenic climate change, we're unlikely to ever reach those Feb 2024 numbers again.

Australia’s four seasons
I had a lovely day in the southwest of Tasmania today - 36km walked and a whole lot of plant surveys 💚
Another totally messed-up act in colonial Australia.
First Nations peoples disregarded and sidelined, again.
Wongari (dingoes) murdered.
Shame on all responsible.
