Katter refuses to acknowledge the monarchy, basically zero backlash (compare that to the reaction Thorpe got!). One Nation boycott the Welcome to Country. But what do Labor and the Coalition decide is the most outrageous thing? A silent protest against Israel.

Our newest bird paper out now in Biological Conservation. We did >2500 bird surveys on farms over a few years! In the paper we demonstrate the benefits of grazing control and revegetation for birds at farm dams. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Purple-crowned Lorikeet from Wagin, WA. We saw plenty of these guys throughout the WA wheatbelt this spring. #WildOz

Working in the Belah near Dubbo today. Heaps of great birds including lots of Painted Honeyeaters, which were feasting on the Buloke Mistletoe. Budgies, cockatiels and big woodswallow flocks also a highlight.

Went to Norway and saw some Magpies. Pretty good, but I prefer my magpies to be more violent.

Got bogged the other month while spotlighting - confirmed I definitely shouldn’t have been driving in there when I found a shield shrimp swimming around 🤦‍♂️
