This gorgeous little Eastern-Yellow Robin joined my Mum while she was gardening today. It patiently waited for her to weed an area and then jumped down to grab any grubs she'd unearthed. #birds

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

I found a Common Southern Carnivorous Snail (Austrorhytida capillacea) in our garden! These natives can be found in South Eastern Australia where they feed on other snails (including introduced Garden Snails). #invertebrates
