A Kiwi freshwater-frog-field ecologist, slumming it in Australia, the sunsets can be rather spectacular and I found good tea.

Most fabulous!
I had a banded pelican from the Victorian program show up on the lake outside my house in Narrabri last July, it does happen!
And to see those bands on pelicans at Narran this year, part of a colony of 10s of 1000s of birds, I still can't believe it.

Check out the band! Young pelicans have been given numbered leg bands as part of a project to reveal more about the lives of Australian Pelicans. More info & how to report a banded pelican sighting: bit.ly/42A4xNb @CES_UNSW @WaterNSW @NarinariNntc 📸 Pat Johnston

Well, I certainly didn’t expect #snow as part of the Australian Alps @BushBlitz2 in summer! A little colder than expected but still having success in surveying the frogs and reptiles of this stunning place.

@AngryWagtails Sure are. What happened when I trimmed them to let sunlight below, they went full hydra-head when out of my reach...

This is just so fantastic! First record for this species in that area for 10 years. Wonder what other crazy critters those lagoons are attracting in these super damp conditions...?!

How is your knowledge of freshwater insect anatomy and life histories? Try this new quiz youtu.be/p4Plfpx7uEl or try searching "Quiz freshwater insects" @UCNZbiology @UCNZScience @UCNZ #UC_FERG

Three years ago we feared what we thought was the worst (#fires) but the reality was more devastating.
Hazard reduction burns like this could not stop the whole area burning soon after.
We’ll soon have as much ‘after’-fire monitoring data as ‘before’. Could be interesting.

Who's got an ID on this beauty? Narran Lake NR, bit west of Walgett. We got as far as maybe a Scaevola of some kind? Don't have proper plant book to hand!

Met a new fav tree today, ooline! Incredibly awe-worthy, it's a relic of an extensive rainforest vegetation that used to cover much of Australia and it's the sole remaining species in the genus. This remnant patch on reserve near Narrabri.
