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?!? 🙈

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
