Anyone wanna see this cool stick insect I saw yesterday? (Helpful bods on iNaturalist tell me it’s a Children’s stick insect, Tropidoderus childrenii, and Wikipedia tells me the blue wings spots are diagnostic and the body colour and structure mean it’s a male)

Wishing you a Happy Halloween with a headless bird!
Actually it’s a Tree Swallow preening but it sure looks creepy.
Anyone else have a headless bird to share?

Think you can navigate with some sort of sixth sense? You must be batty!
On a tiny island near Tanzania, bats have revealed a stunning secret: a neural compass that points north no matter the moon, stars, or horizon - proving mammals have innate orientation abilities.

Fabulous tour in Royal National Park today with bird photography enthusiast Prateek from Mombay. Among 58 species we got a gorgeous male Superb Lyrebird, stunning moments with Satin Bowerbirds and Green Catbirds and finished off with a gorgeous family of Powerful Owls! He wasn't disappointed.

Votes are in: Baudin's Black-cockatoo were pipped to Bird of Year crown by the v charismatic Tawny Frogmouth.

The first year Baudin's were in the comp, finishing 2nd is pretty impressive for a WA endemic relatively unknown on the east coast!
I'm proud of them.

As I argue in #PlatypusMatters, Australia has the world's best mammals, but is sadly the worst place on Earth to be a mammal, with the planet's worst #extinction rate.
The Christmas Island shrew is now the latest species to be officially declared extinct.
