This should brighten your Friday even more! A very happy Eastern long-necked Turtle from the MacDonald River.

One of the most spectacular birds I've ever seen, the Palm Cockatoo is an enigmatic and charismatic bird of Cape York. They have elaborate displays during the breeding season, often using sticks to drum against trees to attract a mate. #palmcockatoo #capeyork

Spent the new year up in Kutini-Payamu National Park in Far North Queensland. Was an epic trip filled with brilliant birds and some amazing herps. Here is a Green Python in ambush we found one of the evenings! #greenpython #kutinipayamunationalpark #ironrange

The world needs more Red-necked Pademelons, now more than ever!

Some excellent #quoll news. #quoll babies!!! (Poor Mum)

Does anyone know of a marketplace or community page where researchers/students can sell/swap research equipment, especially ecology/laboratory gear e.g traps, pitfalling gear, catch bags etc @D0CT0R_Dave @DingoResearch @rohanclarke01 @KarlVernes tag anyone else please

It’s that time of year when I praise ⁦@hpmilne⁩ for germinating these beautiful Callistemon pungens form our local area. Who says native flowers can’t flower profusely?

Australia once again cheat their way to a test win by taking 20 wickets and scoring more runs than the opposition. When will the ICC crack down on their nefarious tactics

Does anyone know someone working on an field guide type app for the mammals of Australia? Particularly terrestrial sp. like rodents and marsupials? Would be good to have location set with lists of local mammal sp. similar to Frogs and Snakes of Aus and birding apps. Cheers!

Been a bit slack with the #orchids recently. Here’s a Cryptostylis erector (Bonnet Orchid) from Dooragan National Park, NSW. #wildoz

Check out this thread on our latest swift #parrot research!

Also in the same spot as that Diuris, had a number of carnivorous plants. A few different utricularia and drosera, any ideas on the green drosera would be appreciated @GregBourke3 ? Think the red one is spatulata. #ozplants

A new Diuris for me, described by Lachlan Copeland, he currently lists it as a Diuris sp. aff. alba (Swamps) “New England Donkey Orchid”. Found in a small area of the NTs it can be locally common, such as the place we found these, with 1-200 plants in a 100m2 area. Epic stuff!
