You never know what might be lurking in the cloudy depths at the bottom of your #garden! Rose Levanti-Niblock captured these gentle giants, #giantfreshwatercrayfish (Astacopsis gouldii), foraging on the creek bed on her #LandforWildlife property in North-West #Tasmania.

Tim & Marie had just joined our #LandforWildlife program when the fire near St Helens burnt much of their land. Their new LFW sign was one of the casualties, so Anna visited to take them a new one. So far, it seems that fire has killed the existing thorny wattle (Acacia paradoxa) weed, hooray!

At the forefront is wet, green grass, with a bird sitting against the longer grass and reeds behind it. The bird is coloured mostly browns and beiges; it has horizontal stripes across its face, and a particularly long and slender beak.
Another grab shot through the lounge window. Only the last 3 years that I’ve found #Latham’s #Snipe staying here a couple of months or so each year & this the closest one’s been to the house. This guy’s a solitary resident, afaik, & rated #vulnerable

Today we planted a Red Lantern (Banksia caleyi) inside one of our big stumps. Looking forward to this one reaching 3m (hopefully it brings in the cockatoos!) #revegetation #LandForWildlife

A night time camera trap image, showing part of a wooden building to the side, with an endangered Eastern Quoll to the front of the image. The quoll is looking at the camera, and has a dark fur with multiple white spots, with a plain black tail.
I put the spare #CameraTrapping #TrailCamera onto the potting shed near the house, as I has suspicions that 'someone' was using the area underneath. The 'someone' was 2 #Endangered Eastern Quolls, 1 being the beautiful dark morph.

After waiting 10 yrs since planting for our 50 Blue & Black gum trees to have their 1st flowering, Spring ‘25 they finally did.
And today I sighted the 1st 2 Swift parrots (critically endangered) to feed on those trees.
Well worth the wait!

Not to worry, the remaining 110 acres (most of which is Conservation Covenant) will stay exactly as it is, providing food and habitat for our amazing, struggling wildlife 💚

A main #pardalote food source is #lerps formed by psyllid insects growing on eucalypts. This #LandforWildlife article delves into lerps' ecological role. It explains why pardalotes mostly stay high up trees. 🪶🧪

Our latest #LandforWildlife member, Chris Calverley from Tayene, has sent through these fabulous pictures of #easternquolls who have made a home under his deck. They manage to get through a small hole, with one picture of a larger male gnawing the decking to make the hole big enough for him.

Did you catch our video of 6 #easternquoll tykes playing chasey in #LandforWildlife members, Laurie Goldsworthy & Kristina Nicklason, backyard? Here is another video, but this time we suspect it is their mum! She is carrying nesting material into the family's den under Laurie & Kristina's home.

Our newest #LandforWildlife landholder, Tim Gardner, had a tutorial from our #volunteer assessor Todd Dudley on controlling a thorny wattle infestation. Acacia paradoxa, is an uncommon but menacing #weed in #Tasmania with this property having a large pop Tim is determined to control.

Give yourself twenty seconds to take a deep breath and relish in this peaceful Pine Tier giant on the Central Plateau of Tasmania.

This gorgeous video was shared by our new #LandforWildlife members, Laurie Goldsworthy & Kristina Nicklason at Western Creek. Our Dr Dave Hamilton believes this is likely a litter of #easternquolls playing together. Eastern quolls can have up to 6 in a litter, so their #mum has done brilliantly!
