🌏 Have never before seen an Apostlebird (Struthidea cinerea), one of the highly social mud-nest builders, so habituated to human presence. I guess he/she gets out more than I do! #Australia

Just never tire of seeing Squirrel Gliders (Petaurus norfolcensis) and IR is super helpful in detection. These are from Shadforth Reserve, a gorgeous area just off the Hume Fwy at Violet Town, Victoria, AU. Drop in and explore if you're nearby! 🌏 walkingmaps.com.au/walk/4539

South African Weed Orchid (Disa bracteata) still actively expanding its range in Victoria, well beyond the low rainfall grassy-woodland zone and into higher rainfall derived grassland. Especially in proximity to Microtis spp. Management options are limited and minimal impact. ☹️ 🌏

Just arrived! Starting slow with a bucolic home landscape here in the Strathbogie Ranges. Three La Niña years have left the land and forest brimming with vitality. But preparing for a roller coaster El Niño ride.
