So ... we have a huge storm happening and my phone is pinging with emergencies nearby (flooding, trees down) ... yet the BOM website tells me there are no warnings for my area 🤔
And the new radar view is pretty useless and awful.

This is brilliant writing by Amy Remeikis (one of Australia's best journalists, in my opinion). I tried to pick out a quote to lead into this piece - but every word is excellent - so you'll just have to read it all for yourself. She nails it.

I need to give a big thank you to @boyfrombruce.bsky.social (give him a follow) for taking me birding on the weekend. It really lifted my mood. Just what the doctor ordered. Being a local, he knows all the good birding spots & has access to some private property. A great weekend - despite the flies!

The good news is I managed to finish off next year’s calendar and also win a prize.

Very cute video of a regent parrot chick being put back in their hollow tree nest - the little scoot down the mouth of the hole kills me every time

Dunno if youse are across this... but it's forecast that in Sydney on Wednesday the temp will be 38C. (100 F)

It's OCTOBER! That's FIFTEEN DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE!

Our Government and fossil fuel companies are determined to cook us alive! Boil the oceans. Kill our forests. Turn habitat to ash.🥺😩

A few of my tawny frogmouth photos, taken over the years, in honour of this bird winning 2025 Australian bird of the year. These are much-loved birds. Whenever I share a photo of these, there is a huge response.
