Bluesky keeps logging me out but today Im back in..thrilled to see these Greycrowned babblers in the Holbrook Common. Four years ago did playback here and only 2 turned up ๐ช. Today - 6 ๐. #localnature #naturefix #WildOz #birds

Kinda representing where we are at - view through on of the #Wiradjuri #ringtrees in Holbrook - #humandetritis
For a minute I was transported back to #blacksummer2020 but this morning its just a sunrise in the fog #triggering #localnature #naturefix
Hoverfly in a flowering Daphne Heath
In whats been a record dry and sparse flowering in the southern NSW South West Slopes, the music of insects buzzing around this Daphne Heath is most welcome. Winter flowering epacrids are completely absent from our restoration because we cant propagate them ๐ค.
Wattles budding up #naturefix #localnature
I think alot about how bird imagery is everywhere in our culture - coffee cups, teatowels, ornaments - even in the cemetary on my morning walk. I guess Bridlife help translate into conservation care more widely but wish for more #loveakingparrot #loveabluewren
Sun after the storms, pool closed for all except the #williewagtail
#bigoldtree always the best thing #TenMileCreek

Cemetaries are some of the only places left with intact #grassywoodland ground layers. This is remnant Flax Lilly (Dianella sp.) at #holbrook cemetary #localnature #naturefix
dry Seasonal herbaceous wetland dry in a drainage ditch
Little spark of joy at a fav remnant seasonal herbaceous #wetland on the morning walk. Drainage ditch on a road now - once was a patch on the floodplain #shiftingbaselines
Rakali looking at the camera
Best thing today happened yesterday with @judykirk.bsky.social - very curious #Rakali #BillabongCk #UpperBillabong
Life in #GrassyWoodlands - some Wild Irishman (Acacia paradoxa) that was direct seeded in a restoration site #naturefix #localnature
Drop of water on a fence wire reflecting the woodlands
Reflections of the woodland #naturefix
Grey crowned babbler nests in a Yellow Box
Best thing today- a family group of 6 Grey-crowned babblers in #HolbrookCommon. Last time we did call playback in here only 1 turned up - thought all was lost. Some nests too ๐๐ฅณ
Water droplets making rings in the water
Water back in the creek #TenMileck #UpperBillabong #naturefix #localwilds
Paddock trees at Sunrise
Paddock trees at sunrise def the best thing I'll see today I suspect - Chroma Hills or Morgans Ridge #Holbrook #naturefix
Reflection of canopy in a puddle
Puddle reflections #grassywoodlands #naturefix
Noisy miners in the top of a dead tree
Morning entourage of Noisy Miners - unfortunately dominate alot of the grassy woodland TSR's locally #grassywoodlands #naturefix #birds #wildoz
Beauty like a bottle of truckie piss glinting in the morning light. On a bike you sure see some poetic piss-bottle moments #anthropocene
Phragmites in the creek
Autumn light is always beautiful but good to see green Phragmites and reflections in water in the creek after a long dry spell.
Sunrise with trees and Mt Narra Narra
