Honestly! Good riddance alright. What a small minded grub! If I could travel back in time it would be to the incredibly rich and fascinating culture of Iran in the 1950s/60s. That’s the progressive and free society most Iranians want.

Bogong moth illustration by @terngirl

In spring, over a billion Bogong moths travel from all over SE Australia to a place they have never been before, Alpine caves, to spend the summer in aestivation. In Autumn the same individual returns to its breeding ground & dies. How do they do it? Prof Eric Warrant. The Biodiversity Conference.

Nice one! We had a good haul of boletes and chanterelles last week which a Czech friend turned into a delicious sour mushroom soup.

Wonder no more. We (@thelabandfield.bsky.social @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social @ingridpollet.bsky.social) have the answer!

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common
Sense prevails!

Cream brick building with β€˜Singleton Council Civic Centre’ on one wall, and a bronze sculpture of a bearded chap with a wide brimmed hat. No relation.

In Singleton to address the NSW Independent Planning Commission regarding a proposal to clear half a million hectares of woodlands in Western NSW, intended as biomass feedstock for Redbank Power Station. In my professional opinion this will push embattled outback flora and fauna closer to extinction
