I love Tawny Frogmouths, seriously, they always seem like they are not impressed with a joke that everyone else thinks is funny (or that they just don’t want to be at ‘the party’). With their soft plumage & huge eyes, they are stunning camouflage experts

I drew this from a photo I took of a gorgeous dancing Euc during a very quick stretch break on a WA wheatbelt road trip. I didn’t spend enough time identifying it, which drives me mad, I am maybe thinking E. torquata?!? 🙈

According to John Gould's Mammals of Australia (1863), early colonists primarily came to know feathertail gliders - the world's smallest gliding mammal - because they often crawled out of branches that were thrown on travellers' fires. https://t.co/Jlbfm4IvMh

Pink Robins are awesome birds that you can find in Tasmanian Rainforests, where they usually mess with your head by sitting in the darkest spot while you're trying to photograph them.

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.

When is a worm not a worm? When it's a remipede! (25) is the Cape Range remipede, Kumonga exleyi. This crazy, swimming crustacean is found in only one cave in WA and is one of the very few extant remipede species globally.

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
