The Tawny Frogmouth nest on my street has a baby! Yesterday, I could see some light fluff, but the male adult was sitting on it firmly. Today he decided to let it out.

Mammal Monday
This curious dingo was snapped as it checked out one of our trail cameras at Mungala. Dingoes are an important species in the AW region, environmentally and culturally.

A new chick! Yesterday we went to check on this pair of POwls that we'd first seen last year. Having decided they, like a few other pairs had not bred this season, it was a wonderful surprise to see we were wrong. First known chick for this pair! #birds #wildoz #brisbane

This was the first Powerful Owl I ever heard, and then saw. I'm very lucky to go out and see so many POwls. You're probably not supposed to have favourites, but this one is probably not so secretly mine. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Another new Powerful Owlet! This from a pair we found near the river a couple of years ago. This is the first time they've been known to breed. We still need to figure out where their hollow is.

Time for another #AwesomeBirds #WildOz edition. This chatty chappy will be familiar to many, their ascending chattery call featuring in soundscapes across the country. Their appearance is just as distinctive, easily seen in the understory as the flit about in their perpetual quest for insect prey.

A new Powerful Owlet! Two, in fact, as its sibling was tucked about 50m away. These were from an adult pair that we discovered September last year at a new Brisbane location.

We nearly missed this beautiful Dichromodes sp. moth because it was so perfectly camouflaged against the almost white sandy soils of Yelverton National Park in the southwest of Western Australia

Powerful Owlet at dusk today. Sadly, this Owlet lost its papa before it even fledged. But its mama (who was in the same tree) has done a great job and has managed to raise it on her own. Hopefully she re-pairs again soon. The Owlet is looking very robust and healthy.

Gastrolobium bilobum - Heart-leaf Poison

This shrub might be beautiful when in flower, but it's also highly toxic. The leaves, flowers & seeds all contain high levels of fluoroacetate, which is poisonous to non-native animlas.
