Fantastic news to wake up to. @RyanCarterECU a @WildlifeLab masters student got his first ever paper accepted - and in an excellent journal. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the success of our students. Watch this space for future details on a sad but important study.
The adventure begins. Today marks the start of our field season surveying the endangered Abrolhos Painted Button-quail. First stop North Island. Conditions clear and still for a safe flight across a sparkling Indian Ocean.
What am I? 🤔🤔

These funny little things were found washed up on the shore of the Wilson Inlet by a resident (by the bucket load!).
I’m stumped. Did it come from the Inlet? Did it wash in from the catchment?
If you have any ideas, please share!
150 camera traps now deployed across three islands in the Houtman Abrolhos archipelago (North Island, East Wallabi Island & West Wallabi Island) in the search for the endangered Abrolhos Painted Button-quail!
Dropping bromadialone across NSW in an attempt to control the mouse plague is a terrible idea. In the @ConversationEDU today myself and colleagues Mike Lohr, @Acanthoplus, @LettsGetSnakes and @terngirl outline the collateral damage this will cause. https://t.co/hjr7POboDE
Great lecture with my @teamswiftparrot interview for the @EdithCowanUni conservation biology students today - despite him being busy currently saving birds on Norfolk Island.
Fantastic trip to Ellen Brook Nature Reserve with @Science_DBCA and @EdithCowanUni conservation biology students to see how the critically endangered Western Swamp Tortoise has survived the #Perthfires
Aquarium experiments; a dream if $$$ is unlimited.
If not, the sheer volume of manual labour involved is incomprehensible.
Masters student @sambillinghurst knows ALL about this as he sets up to explore:
