It's a robin rainbow!

Our much-loved robins are found everywhere from the mountains to the mangroves, from tropical rainforest to desert scrub.

If you’ve seen robin around, why not do a Birds in Backyards winter survey? Visit: https://t.co/hprRb1k8JE

"If we bring #bromadiolone into the system, we're just going to wave bye-bye to a whole suite of native animals in the landscape. The environment can't handle that kind of loss at this point." #MousePlague https://t.co/AcWTeRq4AQ

[BirdLife Australia @BirdlifeOz]

Get cosy and get counting – it’s winter survey time!

Simply spend 20 minutes in a nearby outdoor space and count how many birds you see of each species + the kind of habitat they’re using on Birdata.

Join our free "how to survey" webinar on June 9! https://t.co/PSCiZV9bps

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

It's fair to say that I'm far from alone in being genuinely worried about what's potentially going to happen to birds of prey, other predatory birds (e.g. ravens), carnivorous native mammals, goannas, other reptiles...the food chain and ecosystems.
