It’s late May and my Stumpytail friend has not started his mid year break. #Drought #ClimateChange #Auspol #wildoz #Grampians

We searched for days to finally catch a glimpse of this Wompoo Fruit-Dove aka wompoo pigeon & magnificent fruit dove. Despite its bright colouring so hard to see high in the canopy foraging #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdlover #MyBirdADay #BirdsOfAustralia #BirdOfFNQ #ProtectBirdHabitat

Brush-tailed phascogales are medium-sized dasyurids (carnivorous marsupials), related to antechinuses, dunnarts, quolls etc. They’re a threatened species. They can be found in peri-urban areas of NE Melbourne, but rarely: I’ve looked on countless nights and not seen them. But last night I saw THREE!

Encounters like this aren't the kind you'll see on a BBC doco but this is what we get on a lucky day when creeping through the forests of Australia's east coast. Stealing glimpses of confidential moments like this is the secret sauce of birding, the memories of which fill my heart with joy. #birds

Time for another #AwesomeBirds #WildOz edition. This big black bird looks devilishly like several other big black birds but it has a distinctive call that tells you which one it is.

High altitude echidnas in Tasmania are so fluffy and friendly! A top tier Aussie native 😍 #WildOz

Gorgeous little Scarlet Honeyeater comes every year when the white flowering Callistemon is in bloom. We have many other Bottlebrush but they only come only for the white flowers. #Ausbirds #Birds #Auswildlife

Not my photos - but taken today at our local island beach! Amazing. #PhillipIsland

Always nice to find a Quenda (Isoodon fusciventer) foraging around the garden. These small #marsupials play an important role in our bushland ecosystem #wildoz #biodiversity
