Beautiful #parkrun #parwalk at #VarsityLakes. I spotted 19 bird species: water, sea & woodland birds. Swan families, the willy wagtail, the black & white usual suspects & an unknown bird I'll have to look up. Egrets, herons, swamphens. Photos below not from today. @parkrunaustralia.bsky.social 🦜🐦‍⬛🐦

While we're talking about Governments not caring about extinctions it's timely to remember that Australia has the worst rate of mammal extinction in the ENTIRE WORLD but that something can be done if we have the will #auspol

I've been blown away by the high level of comms over the #Alfred 🌀 this week w. great info from state govt, GC city council, police, BoM, all emergency services! & level of detail to get prepared, monitor changes & act as necessary to stay safe. Community socials also brill #QLD👏 Still raining 🌧

I'm wondering how beaker and her family got thru the cyclone. They live so close to the beach and a 100ft Norfolk Pine nearby was downed over the weekend. Can't hear any birds as the weather still rages on 🌀 #Alfred
