Harry Potter and the Disenchanted Wildlife: how light and sound shows can harm nocturnal animals A Harry Potter nightwalk experience at a wildlife sanctuary on the Mornington Peninsula has raised concern for wildlife. Evidence suggests the fears are well-founded.

Seems our Perth Hills council wants to host a Harry Potter: Forbidden Forest Experience in a well-loved bushland park this winter.

Locals are rightly very worried! Light and sound shows, unless they are well-located, can harm wildlife.

New ban on dangerous rodent poisons is lifeline for our native animals Rat and mouse baits are an everyday product. But these chemicals can persist in the tissues of rodents that eat them for months and poison native animals.

I really didn't think this would finally happen in Australia. Our country has the worst record for species extinction on the planet.

Always nice to get a cool, refreshing drink on a stinking hot day 🔥☀️

This joey still drinks milk from mum’s pouch but has also started investigating the water available around our property💧

Perons Tree Frog is a regular inhabitant in the car port

We get some big female Huntsman Spiders can be 130mm or bigger. This one is about half that size so maybe a male. Anyway they are welcome in the house ... except in the bedrooms 😀

This morning we had two welcome visitors in the house, a Huntsman Spider and Perons Tree Frog, life in the bush

Profile shot of a skittish sulphur-crested cockatoo with a fully erect crest, perched on a deck railing, with lush green foliage in the background. These critters come down looking for seed, which we occasionally put out. But they are not fully comfortable on our deck, which is the way it should be.

Today's visitor is not so sure they actually wanted to visit.

How sad 😔 Tagging the #auswildlife and #wildoz feeds

This little cutie has been visiting us for a few weeks now. We recently moved the garden camera to see who uses this water bowl and have been able to catch this little rosella a few times.

A spotted-tail quoll, alert and facing the camera. It is standing on a cut log.

Our local quoll showed up again and this time I actually managed to get a decent picture. This might be the best thing that has ever happened to me. #auswildlife #wildoz #marsupial #mammal

It’s been a hot few days in the Perth Hills and the bird baths have been in high demand from lots of our garden wildlife.

Like this lovely Bronze Wing, who had a good long bathe today… I think he was in there for at least 5 minutes 🪶💧
