We might not be able to go far, but Autumn means birds are on the move. Do a Birds in Backyards survey in April to tell us who you have visiting and what it is about your garden that they ♥️.
New to the surveys? Join our free webinar on Wed April 15

Why does @DanielAndrewsMP need to hear from you? Our wildlife can't wait. For 6 months @VictorianLabor have sat on expert recommendations to create national parks in the central west. Ask @LilyDAmbrosioMP to accept the advice & create habitat refuges.

Variation is the fuel by which the motor of selection runs. Clicking Froglets (Crinia signifera) are highly polymorphic in pattern/colour, but Twitter only lets me showcase four of these endless forms. All were calling within a single tiny puddle on the road, Kangaroo Island.
