I was horrified to hear a member of the public calling a dibbler ‘a rat’ but then looking at the sign at Perth Zoo, there is nothing explaining that it’s a carnivorous marsupial. Come on Perth Zoo, you can do better than that!

Yesterday, we had a striated pardalote hover in front of our window. When we opened the door, it flew in and started visiting the house. Very curious visitor.

Today, got to work on marsupial moles. They are such fascinating marsupials. Would be nice to see one in the wild one day, but chances are pretty low.
