Check out this regent parrot who can barely fit in her own nest - this huge old red gum has a 5cm wide slit that’s been a nest for a couple years now. squeeze == safe

That’s the one - thanks - I’ll look it up πŸ™‚. It’s really different in taste to a sugar sweetened sponge.

Don’t suppose there’s a lamington recipe with a honey sweetened sponge in the box? I once had a vintage recipe for this and it was the best ever.

Do you know that chickens have at least 100 β€˜words’ πŸ™‚?

Surely the people who would label you a weirdo (those not into kayaking/birding) are in fact the weirdos πŸ™‚?

I watch paramedic videos. I thought it was super weird but a psychologist mentioned people commonly use things like this (storyline from chaos to calm), to self-regulate.

I would imagine that would be very difficult for Lore Keepers.

The article mentions two submerged sites in Australia and I think that submerged sites have also been mapped in Victoria.

Yes - fortunately I didn’t realise how scary until I was out of the β€˜taxi’.

I made it to the airport. But there is clearly an issue.

I ordered a taxi to the airport. I received a message saying my taxi had arrived. On the way to the airport (in the taxi) I received a call. From the booked taxi driver. Wondering where I was.

I’m sure this incident did not help the victim’s mental ill-health.

I suppose recognition of special places could potentially be a good thing in some circumstances. Not sure that it’s helped the GBR.

I struggle with the concept of recognising isolated parts, without an acknowledgement that everything is connected.

I’m currently listening to your book in audio format and enjoying learning more about the great work you are doing.

Video of seagrass devastation cut from David Attenborough documentary Film-makers decided a clip of bottom-trawling fishing boats ripping up seagrass from Sir David Attenborough’s film Ocean was β€˜too harsh’ for the public

Video of seagrass devastation cut from David Attenborough's documentary 'Ocean!' 🌊

The clip of bottom-trawling fishing boats ripping up seagrass was deemed β€˜too harsh’ for the public.

The public wants to know the truth! Not a sanitised version ✊
