Really looking forward to going home to #Rwanda next week. Until then I will be posting images to highlight the country’s stunning avian diversity. I’ll start with one of my favourites, the Malachite Kingfisher. Photographed @golf_kigali #visitRwanda #TwitterNatureCommunity

One of the best moments in my career. The rediscovery of the Victorian Earless Dragon. In 2019 I undertook the taxonomic research to show this little lizard was a unique species, different to those in the ACT & NSW. So, so pleased it is not extinct! @museumsvictoria

The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ban…

Ha! I once warmed up a torpid ermine inside my shirt... no attack, lucky! #besidesus

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

Common Crane (Grus grus) is a passage bird in Hungary, usually wintering in Spain, North Africa and Asia Minor. So I was delighted today to find a single flock of 433 birds. A bit unusual for mid-winter. Many were practising their mating dance. #birdinghungary #BirdsSeenIn2023

The UK government's biodiversity expenditure data released - & it's grim. For all the rhetoric of financing nature recovery - here's how spending has actually changed over time - still ~40% lower than in 2008 in real terms
