200 #kakapo! The population has reached 200 today, with the latest chick (Esperance-3-B-19) becoming a juvenile - when we add birds to the official tally. There are probably more kākāp�� alive now than at any time for ≥70 years. #kakapo2019 #conservation pic:@deidre_vercoe

How far do Ibis fly?

“Walnut”, a juv Straw-necked Ibis, has flown up to 400km in a day & over 2000km from the Victorian boarder to Ingham, Qld

Birds were caught in the Murray River Basin. Some disperse to nearby farm paddocks while others are more adventurous

Spent hours scrabbling on rocks around Mt Isa hunting Hibiscus and finally found two plants of this undescribed species with a really funky epicalyx. The view wasn't half bad either #hibiscushunter #ozplants

Proof that an all native freshwater aquarium using NZ native plant and fish species can look awesome! No need for introduced species here.

Here’s the video of me getting my PhD from UO and my poor adviser having to rangle me into the hood. She said I had to walk and wear robes, she just didn’t specify they couldn’t be over a T.rex costume. #phdchat #ScienceTwitter
