Spent threatened species day surveying for...threatened species. Perfect weather for the Bathurst Copper Paralucia spinifera. Such stunning butterflies and so very threatened. Sad to see blackberry and scotch broom untreated and expanding on important sites.

Can you show me a link to this case? Who was the other pregnant woman? Is it going to trial? So many questions...

I only know them as amazing wildlife carers specialising in seabirds. Amazing women - the "twinnies". Im sure they would appreciate a donation to their wildlife rehab facility.

Susan Templeman - she's such a good local rep. Will be odd not to vote for her this time.

How do you feel about vaccines given to livestock? Massive savings there for primary producers if they are just a scam. Maybe anti vaxxers should only eat meat from unvaccinated flocks and herds. Thoughts?

Excellent idea with the threat of H5N1 bird flu - lots of little unregulated flocks. What could go wrong?

As a work around I suggest banning betting on races. Let's see how many trainers persist for the 'love of the sport' when money is removed.

Are you concerned about all the vaccines livestock get too? Either they work or they don't so let's start there and see how it plays out.......

AVP should definitely not be the first to go if there is a bit of a clean out.

Simply an awful man. Regressive, selfish and thoroughly mediocre - not sure where he caused the most damage but turning family law into a dumpster should get an honourable mention.

I have been watching the expansion of the aptly named Arion (slug) ater (black) in the upper Blue Mountains over the past 10 years. I counted 19 in a new area this evening. Invasive, and bring a suite of issues, but oh so perfectly black. Quite stunning. Time to get collecting.

I did wonder if I was the only one in the Enmore to wonder if an evening with Mr Jack White would impact my ability to hear bird calls in my dotage. Ears still ringing. Worth it!
