An echidna perched on the edge of a copper coloured bird bath. It has one front paw in the water and the other resting on the edge and it is looking up through dead branches.

The importance of mixing up your bird baths. This one is on the ground and gets visited by dozens of little birds as well as some of the larger locals.

I was pro Geelong only as that is where I stay when visiting Werribee Water Treatment Plant. Geelong is way nicer than Werribee

Is it weird to say Geelong because of its proximity to the poo ponds? Imagine being able to go to Werribee every weekend? I have only spent a couple of nights in both places, and though Bendigo was lovely, with good food, cafes and a gallery, as a birder I vote Geelong.

Unforgivable in Australia to drive past a broken down car. What were #Toyota #Hilux thinking with their ad campaign?

All they ever talk about at the BBC these days is content. Say no more.

How great that you list all his ‘achievements’ before addressing the fact he is a misogynist arsehole. The story isn’t ’great sailor’ it’s ’suspended sailor’ so you really should lead with why he was suspended. It’s all about framing the story and honestly I’d expect better from the guardian.

FFS - top (male) cop loses wife and turns to drink and moodiness but is still reinstated etc etc. Female cop loses partner and finds live with another woman. When will they rest these tropes? #bergerac

Just thinking of all the good $60million could do: scholarships for disadvantaged kids, improving community infrastructure like sports fields, supporting charities that actually do good work. But no, Clive Palmer chased glory. What an arsehole.

Anyone managed to build it yet? 🤔

It is hugely frustrating that so many people don’t understand what a ‘coalition’ means.

I agree - Tombstone was incredible, and he *was* Batman.

Finally left Twitter bird finding it frustrating how many useful accounts on on here. For example, Sydney trains - I never realised how much I relied on their updates!

Looking forward to seeing ‘Conservative Fuckknuckles’ appear on the voting form.

Makes me so angry that we all knew he was a predator but his mates closed ranks and protected him. How many more people did he prey on in those intervening years. Money, old boys networks, secret handshakes, all alive and well and keeping monsters safe.

Bang goes their credibility. Ffs, there are better role models out there.

Gosh, again! The BBC really has to learn to start listening when women make complaints. Maybe one day ….

Will be interesting to see if this spreads further. We can only hope.

Just completed a First Aid course with the Australian Red Cross ⛑️ so now if I electrocute the electrician again tomorrow, I’m ready for CPR!

My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex. I was really close to my dad so I visited his grave a lot. I still do. [DON’T WORRY, IT GETS FUNNIER.]

Known in our family as a Green-backed Rosella 🤣 after some idiot landholder insisted it was a new species. #crimsonrosella #birdsofoz #ozbirds

A bit of a flooffy in the garden this morning. #butcherbird #canon #4thDayofChristmas
