Meet the spooky friend I met over the weekend
with @liampmurphy @CratesRoss @hpmilne et al.
Certainly the biggest shark I've ever seen, let alone materialising a few meters behind me from the depths (I was in a boat).
Had a great couple of days down at South West Rocks chasing pelagic species. Highlights were White-faced Storm Petrel, Black-browed and Shy Albatrosses, Kermadec and Tahiti Petrels. Was lucky enough to see a huge Mako which circled the boat numerous times giving cracking views!
King Island scrubtits are among Australia’s most endangered birds - @CratesRoss & @CatMYoung are doing a genetic study to identify new approaches to protecting them!

The Regent Honeyeater is so rare its love song is at risk of being lost forever. But there’s new hope the critically endangered bird can be brought back from the edge of extinction through science, tech and a whole lot of human love.

@alizurd Australasian Bittern. It’s deep booming calls can be heard from a great distance on a still evening, but for a bird of that size they are rarely seen.
This NSW Parliamentary petition (requesting NSW Govt to purchase 200ha of land in the Port Macquarie area for protected koala habitat) needs 16,000 more signatures in the next 6 days.
I think that we can do it. Come folks, protect koalas for our descendants (& koalas, & tourists)
Quite astonishing evidence at Warragamba Dam inquiry today. The expert who did the field work to assess Regent Honeyeater impacts says his findings were “watered down” in the final report. @Matt_KeanMP @RobStokesMP#nswpol
Myself, @CratesRoss and @liampmurphy are taking part in the 2021 Twitchathon as team Noisy Pfizerbirds. It would be great if you could chuck a few dollars behind this great cause! https://t.co/D2VqYxnDIU #nsw-twitchathon-2021 via @raisely
While these parrots may have been swiftly eliminated from the 2021 #BirdOfTheYear comp, there's still plenty of time to revisit how ANU researchers like @teamswiftparrot are working to save these critically endangered birds from multiple threats. 🦜 @ANUFennerSchool @ANUmedia
