    But the #insects that appeared at night were primarily #freshwater species - lots of #CaddisFlies (#Trichoptera), #Chironomidae and #BackSwimmers (#Notonectidae).

    There were also LOTS of #microbats everywhere, and the stars were incredible.

  3. Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!

  5. Prehistoric bird once thought extinct returns to New Zealand wild theguardian.com/environment/20
    Return of takahē – large, flightless bird – to alpine slopes of the South Island marks a conservation victory in New Zealand. I met one of these contenders for Bird of the Year today at the Zealandia nature conservatory. #Takahe #birdlife #nzpol #biodiversity #conservation
