"We can now say with confidence the current remaining population size is only about 500 parrots,” says @ANUFennerSchool researcher Dr George Olah.
"These results confirm we are running out of time to save the swift parrot." science.anu.edu.au/news-even…
Still a few days to apply for this really cool post doc opportunity with us at the ANU.

Suddenly the Western elites realise that decades of indulging #Israeli extremism leads to a Jewish state that ignores any and all suggestions (while still arming them to the teeth)?
Please, spare us the faux outrage. This is on you, Western “powers”:

Haven’t opened this app in a looong time, but just dropping in to share this excellent lizard we found in Lamington NP a few weeks back. Lophosaurus spinipes #WildOz
Also if you want to see endangered frogs (hopefully not for much longer) just pitch a tent in the campground and wait #MixophyesFleayi #WildOz

Australia’s never had more homes per person. Yet housing only gets more expensive.
Why? Govt policies allow the wealthiest to take up more space, hoard homes, and push up costs.
Now they’re scapegoating migrants for the problem they’ve created.
With respect, get in the bin.

People at the SMH/Age who cannot write about the war: Staff who signed a letter calling for integrity, transparency & rigour, noting at least 53 journos have been killed
Seems fine

WE JUST GOT ONE! It is our absolute pleasure to introduce GLORIA, the first ever Australian Painted-snipe to be tracked. Thanks to EnviroKey.com.au for the sponsorship and to all who’ve helped make this possible. More to come …

It’s the perfect time to encourage growers to get their permanent water on ASAP. A week or two, and sometimes just a few days, can make all the difference for successful breeding of Australasian Bitterns in rice. #bitternfriendyrice @ricegrowers m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…
New paper. We found increased bird breeding activity and species richness at revegetated farm dams relative to shelterbelts and unplanted dams. Woodland birds responded particularly well.
