Our team have been checking on the #kakapo on Pukahereka/Coal Island, in south-west Fiordland, New Zealand. This is the newest kākāpō island, established last year and currently containing 13 males. Here's Kenneth, by ranger Maddy Whittaker. #conservation #parrots #birds

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

#Emails2DOGE I think that the last 5 days of Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic diaries, before everyone froze or starved to death, would be a really great 5 bullet point email to OPM. Feel free to use if you get one of those letters -- you will seem quite heroic! Next up: Sylvia Plath's diaries!

Bits of dead farmed salmon are washing up on beaches kms away from pens but.. “The EPA would not say how much antibiotic was being used by Huon, citing "commercial in confidence". Water flows. This should be transparent. How far away does the impact spread in natural ecosystems?

Black vulture: one of a pair that started visiting last summer. They're now bringing their offspring and showing them how to get my attention so I'll bring out the food. #birds

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s letter to the Tasmanian salmon industry, promising new federal environmental laws to protect the foreign-owned businesses, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines government process. Media release from @browne90.bsky.social and @eloise-carr.bsky.social.

Yet again. That coastline is such a magnet for strandings, but I don’t believe we yet understand just why. #WildOz www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Playful #platypuses! What an awesome #taxidermy trio, showing some non-standard platy-poses (for the record, platypuses do roll over onto their backs like this to scratch). And it provides a great view of the male #platypus' horny venom-spur by his ankle. At @mnhn.fr Grand Gallery of #Evolution.

Just finished playing this one. Met my future husband in 1985 while he was in UK on work exchange & was he that introduced me to #Redgum and the classic ‘If You Don’t Fight You Lose’ #vinyl . This album was a 1985 release in the UK, though 1st release in AU with slightly different artwork, was 1978.

There’s an opportunity for a highly performing student to do a PhD in my friendly and welcoming lab. Australian domestic or onshore international students only. Some flexibility in study area, but may involve camera or drone imagery, AI, vegetation analysis. Dm me by 24/2. And pls share! 🧪 #AI

Bravo to @bendigobank.bsky.social for ringing me Saturday pm to alert me to fraudulent transaction on a debit card. They blocked transaction & cancelled the card. Interestingly, was a card I’ve never actually used, so fraudsters must be trying various number combos until they hit a live one.

My wonderful remedial masseur gave me a large bag of plums last visit. Today, half of them are being turned into oven-roasted plums from www.davidlebovitz.com/oven-roasted... Drizzled with honey, vanilla and white wine - and such stunning colours - all ready to go in the oven. 🍽️ #cooking

The #Tasmanian pademelon must be wondering just who has made all those muddy diggings around the communal water bowl. If she turned around, she might spy the culprit - a small echidna in search of ants, who’s gone on to make even more excavations along a low bank of earth. #WildOz #wildlife
