We were on ABC TV! Allison joined host Dr. @jones_ann and friend of the Fairywren Project, Mark Eatwell to visit Mark’s friendly Splendid Fairywrens in the Perth hills. If you missed the program you can catch it on iview - episode 4: iview.abc.net.au/video/SC220…

Eight new Pacific masked bees just dropped 🐝! What’s really cool about these bees is that (i) they’re mostly restricted to forest canopies, (iii) prefer for red flowers, and (ii) resolve how Hylaeus tuamotuensis got to French Polynesia! 1/16 t.ly/qiTh0

Matt's brother is very rude.
Listen to weird facts about the animals we found in our Brisbane house (out of 1,000+ species!) on @ABCscience podcast with @jones_ann 👉 abc.net.au/listen/programs/w… My brother says her's is better than the version we wrote 😂😅 👉doi.org/10.1002/ecy.4225 pic 👇by Andrew Rogers

Incredible to watch tens of thousands of Grey-headed Flying-fox megabats (Pteropus poliocephalus 🦇) leave their roost at sunset to forage for nectar overnight - so many that they're accidentally mapped as rain on the @BOM_au weather radar! 🤯 #wildoz – at Smiths Lake, New South Wales

A pair of brown falcons nest over in the neighbour's pine tree and one just flew over the house with a decent sized snake in its talons. Now I can hear much happy screeching from the tree top

Did you know that only one species of Christmas Beetle is found in Tassie? It's called the A. suturalis. So we need as many people as possible to tell us when they spot one. Find out more at invertebratesaustralia.org/c… #Tasmania #christmasbeetlecount #invertebratesaustralia

A few weeks back @jones_ann asked me a seemingly straightforward question which immediately sent me into a spiral. Come wade into the muddy waters with us as we attempt to answer the question “what is a species?” abc.net.au/listen/programs/w…

The Bengal florican, a large grassland bird found in Asia, was predicted to go extinct by 2023. It’s now 2023, so what happened? #ProjectWildABC Bengal floricans like to live in tall grass. But grasslands also happen to be one of the easiest places for humans to develop…

With fewer than 800 wild individuals left, the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity thought they’d attempt a world first. They’ve setup a Bengal florican assurance colony in Cambodia.

So it’s 2023 and the Bengal florican isn’t extinct. Individual birds like this gorgeous little chick have the species’ future riding on thier survival. Stream Project Wild: Cambodia on @abctv for more of this cutey. Watch—-> iview.abc.net.au/show/projec…

🥚🥚🥚 It’s that special time of year when bitterns in rice start laying their first eggs. An early start means they have plenty of time to breed successfully before autumn harvest. With all this hot weather, the rice rapidly reaches the 55 cm mark that triggers nesting. 🤎🤍💚
