A big sedge in a large wetland. There's also a tiny critically endangered butterfly somewhere in the leaves. Don't be surprised if you can't see it, it's tiny and camouflaged

The triangle in the middle is Hesperilla flava, yellowish sedge skipper butterfly. There's about two dozen in this wetland, and a couple of hundred across the entire range

The lost exciting photos of basically nothing I've ever taken. Look super closely for the Hesperilla flavescens, yellowish sedge skipper butterfly (critically endangered) on the Gahnia filum that is their obligate habitat.

Photo of green mushroom like structures above green liverwort leavees. Moss in the background, blades of brown grass in foreground

Was anyone going to tell me that liverworts could make little umbrellas, or did I have crawl around on a hillside myself?

Grey butcherbird on sandstone

Made a friend at #bushcare this morning, as we pulled up balloon vine and crofton weed he swooped in for worms and other inverts

Sunset over ocean and foredunes

It's a tough job but someone's got to do it...

Medium sized bipedal herbivorous mammal wearing red tshirt and gumboots approaching gate made of independently hinged metal bars

Mammal using head to lift bars out of way as it exits macropod resistant enclosure

Kangaroos probably don't lift the bars with their front paws, but this is what it would look like if they did

Found a suitable medium sized mammal to demonstrate how one way gates allow kangaroos that manage to get through fencing to exit the exclosure.

Olea europaea showing some dieback but also regrowth

Undrilled back half of lignotuber

Drill holes too widely spaced, not deep enough, and top row should be offset to bottom row (three rows preferred).

Stump is 80% alive despite canopy having dropped

Quick lesson in #BushRegeneration and woody weed management. If you're drill and filling a particularly hardy tree and don't drill the whole way around and apply your chem within 30 seconds, all you've done is make life harder for the person that's got to clean it up. #eco #BushCare #Invasives
