Pretty excited about my new project restoring Rakali (water rats) to the Montebello Islands! They were common until a local extinction in the 70-80s, due to predation by feral cats and predation/competition by black rats. Both have now been eradicated from the islands.

It has been a pleasure spending time at the saltmarsh Threatened Ecological Community which is home to such a diverse range of species.
I have especially loved watching the resident and migratory bird species and trying to portray their characters

On warm days the black-headed monitors come out at work. I have also seen the name "scorpion tailed goanna" due to the way they carry it curled up! 🦂🦎#wildoz
