Yellow-rumped Thornbill Acanthiza chrysorrhoa at the banding table - the most beautiful of the Thornbills IMHO. Banded with appropriate permits and mentoring #Wildoz #birdbanding #birds

The garden Quenda-cam is set up under bushes so I didn't expect a Black Duck: though with the recent weather it was probably hiding from the rain #WildOZ #Urbanecology #birds A quendette also

'Build it and they will come' I put up a quenda 'hutch' in my garden (artificial habitat: a pallet staked down and piled up with brush - meant to provide fox/cat proof shelter) and this fat lad turned up in no time. The garden is full of quenda though, so it may not be the hutch... #urbanecology

After the rain there is a green flush on the roadsides attracting the worst duck parents in the world - it’s an ecological trap and I expect these wood ducks will lose most of this brood to road kill and ravens #urbanecology #wildoz

This is cool! Not quite a dramatic but we showed that quenda in Perth appear to be able to fend off black rats too
