Templestowe and Banyule!
I had a tip off!
Yarra River wandering - striated pardalote, common bronzewing, platypus(!!), owlet-nightjar
You can only imagine how much we're all enjoying it here
The whole bazball schtick about playing entertaining cricket being thrillingly illustrated here by endless legside bouncers
England should make 600 on this wicket
Every year I get incredibly stressed and every year I get over the line - 451 calendars sold, $10820 donated, thanks for playing everyone!!!!
Unbelievable that beau webster keeps missing out for cam green
Seems crazy that the NYT games wrapped doesn't give me any statistics for the mini, the main reason I have the NYT games app
Told people from run club that I went to the Big Day Out before everyone had mobile phones and you could see them struggling to make sense of it all
Unfathomable news tonight, look after each other everyone
Just two good boys
Didn't find the owlet nightjar at Banyule, but it's always good for a stroll
Been going to my run club for a couple of years and I've met so many of my favourite people
Gang! I've still got approx 10 bird calendars left to sell, raising money for good causes as always and prices marked down to $25! You too could be this happy next year!!!

I wish the government would ban me from social media
flew out of where
Was trying to drag myself away from Twitter, but I guess I've gotta stay now
Nock Loose is easily the most madcap thing I read all year
While I'm posting, these were my favourite Australian books of the year - something for everyone (poetry, non-fiction, madcap novels, capital L Literature, graphic novels, short stories etc etc)
please!!!
Every few months the racism and misogyny on twitter drives me back over here, maybe I can make it stick this time? It's been a big tawny season since I last posted!
An endemic bird no less!!
Spot on!
Ohhh I love this!!!
I "made" @birdmichael.bsky.social come to the Western Treatment Plant with me on a workday to look for brolgas and orange-bellied parrots so I could write this article
I think I saw that at KBS and that's what I'm thinking of. Also your modelling paper on JoPH? Although maybe that was all polarisation I can't remember
Ha, I am just citing this lifespan one in a revision, very timely plug
How do we square this with all the survey data showing big jumps in drinking since covid that have not subsequently dropped off?
(I'm back on bluesky just to ask you this, because it didn't feel worth an email)
Satin Bowerbird!
