Regularly recorded on the waterhole camera, it was a treat to see this perentie warming up in the early morning sun on weekend visit to the camera site #watarrkanationalpark #kingscanyon #centralaustralia

It is National Invasive Species Awareness Week in the US, so it seems fitting to post this image of a red fox that appeared on a Watarrka NP waterhole camera. Foxes are an invasive species in Australia and a fox control program is now in place in the park.

Not an upside down waterfall but the reflection of the waterfall that appeared on the perennial rockhole camera after a major rainfall event. Reconyx cameras can survive a short dunking-hopefully this is the case here #watarrkanationalpark #kingscanyon #centralaustralia

Perenties are very curious animals but possibly do not have great memories. They usually inspect the waterhole camera very closely (which is why this pic is not in focus) - the location of the camera has not changed over the decade of recording #watarrkanationalpark#kingscanyon#centralaustralia

During the warmer months a perentie (the largest Oz lizard species) appears almost daily on the ephemeral stream camera trap walking along the dry stream bed #watarrkanationalpark #kingscanyon #centralaustralia

Young dingoes often appear on the Watarrka waterhole cameras at this time of year. The white tips on their tails may make them easier to recognise next year #watarrkanationalpark #kingscanyon #centralaustralia

Very grateful that I have been part of of the generation of women for whom having a career in science was a reality-something that my Mum would have liked but as a girl could not even imagine was achievable #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #CDU

Posting a pic of the spectacular arid zone dragonfly, the scarlet percher, Diplacodes haematodes, to celebrate World Wetlands Day (Feb 2). Dragonflies are at the top of many wetland invertebrate food chains & their presence is a useful indicator of a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

An exciting pic! This is the first time in over a decade of camera trap records from remote Watarrka NP waterholes that a warru, aka black-footed rock wallaby, has appeared on camera with a joey.

Having joined the exodus from X this is my first post from a waterhole camera in Watarrka National Park. Recent rains in central Australia means that this normally temporary pool remains full - and it appears to have attracted a pair of white-necked herons.This one has spotted the camera!

A family Xmas catchup in Tasmania is also a chance to see local fauna, spotting a quoll is a possibility, but not a Tassie tiger

Love these Oz Xmas ornaments, as an invertebrate aquatic ecologist I especially love how large the shrimp is relative to the cockatoo 😊
