A Kiwi freshwater-frog-field ecologist, slumming it in Australia, the sunsets can be rather spectacular and I found good tea.

@terngirl And this is how we do it! The banding I mean. Pros at work.

Most fabulous!
I had a banded pelican from the Victorian program show up on the lake outside my house in Narrabri last July, it does happen!
And to see those bands on pelicans at Narran this year, part of a colony of 10s of 1000s of birds, I still can't believe it.

Check out the band!
Young pelicans have been given numbered leg bands as part of a project to reveal more about the lives of Australian Pelicans.

@laurenlaverne this people's playlist is getting me through the waiting for my VERY delayed flight out of Sydney home to New Zealand, thanks!

@AngryWagtails Sure are. What happened when I trimmed them to let sunlight below, they went full hydra-head when out of my reach...

[Joanne Ocock @jo_ocock]

This is just so fantastic! First record for this species in that area for 10 years. Wonder what other crazy critters those lagoons are attracting in these super damp conditions...?!

@jonharding333 @UCNZbiology @UCNZscience @UCNZ Could be OK as long as hasn't changed in 15 years!

[Joanne Ocock @jo_ocock]

@waterpenny10 Jaunty attitude!

[Joanne Ocock @jo_ocock]

@DingoResearch I believe you can do it though Guy!

[Joanne Ocock @jo_ocock]

Who's got an ID on this beauty? Narran Lake NR, bit west of Walgett. We got as far as maybe a Scaevola of some kind? Don't have proper plant book to hand!

@ManuSaunders you have more contacts than me!

Met a new fav tree today, ooline! Incredibly awe-worthy, it's a relic of an extensive rainforest vegetation that used to cover much of Australia and it's the sole remaining species in the genus. This remnant patch on reserve near Narrabri.
