Bird lover living in Canberra, on Ngunnawal country. I despair at what our government isn’t doing to save our unique environment. Horrified by Trump’s ascendancy. Find solace in the beautiful posts of other nature lovers. Love is love 🏳️‍🌈 #birds #wildlife

Windy day in our garden yesterday, strong Westerlies. Could be a very long fire season. The two eucalypts in the foreground I planted in 1998. Hopefully helps make up for the block next door which is mainly concrete and weeds. No wonder our wildlife and birds are in trouble. #birds #wildlife

It’s 30°C and one of our junior Australian Magpies is being instructed by its parent in the art of the dust bath. Sound on #birds #wildlife.

One of our parent Magpies looking like a train wreck but actually having a dust bath. The chick had been parked in the shade under a camellia just out of frame on the right but emerged to complain about lack of service! #birds #wildlife

I’ve been in Sydney for three days and am being asked ‘why?’. #birds #wildlife
A large Sulphur Crested Cockatoo sits on a garden shelf and is looking at the photographer.

Visiting an old friend in Sydney, catching the Manly ferry. I still reckon it’s one of the prettiest, and cheapest, ferry rides anywhere. #birds #wildlife
