Sadly, trees used by generations of these Powerful Owls, for cover when newly fledged, to watch over nest sites, to use as corridors when reaching safe areas, and to roost in are being chopped down. No one can tell me why. Trillian, from 2022 and a tree she liked to hide in. #brisbane #wildoz #birds

It’s been a grey day in the Perth Hills today, which brought us some much needed rain after a very dry spring so far this year 🌧️

These flowers did their best to add a dash of sunshine yellow to the day though 💛

A few of the flowers seen in the Tingle and Karri forests of the Walpole-Nornalup National Park on the south coast of Western Australia this week. This area is part of the Walpole Wilderness Area, a 3,633km2 #biodiversity hotspot.

We're back with #WildlifeWednesday and next up is the vulnerable Sei Whale (Balaenoptera borealis). These whales are the third-largest baleen whale (behind the Blue Whale and Fin Whale) and with their long, sleek bodies can reach speeds of over 55km/h!

Fairy Prion. #BirdOfTheDay #seabirds #birds #WildOz

Possibly the Pacific Baza was more tolerant of people as it was busy hunting frogs. I didn't even know they did that.

Pacific Baza (aka Angry Pigeon) at Oxley Creek Common last week. Birds of prey are usually pretty skitzy around people, but this one didn't seem to care.

Weedy Wednesday
A volatile summer awaits, and buffel grass has many remote communities fearful of what could happen if bushfires take hold around them.

Weedy Wednesday
On the way to last month’s BuffelpalooSA event in Port Augusta, AW’s Jess Burdon took a detour to check out some known buffel infestations in metropolitan Adelaide with Dr Hanwen Wu, a herbicide specialist from the NSW Dept of Primary Industries.
