Can't get enough of those desert skies. Soooo many stars!
#Desert sky. A Southern Cross windmill under the southern cross.
More #aurora photos from last week. Fantastic to be able to see this from 32deg south. It was a beautiful clear night.
Aurora with star trails, Perth Hills last night.

Fluorescence Friday or Forensic Friday? A bit of fun with @kennytravouillon.bsky.social, @cecooper.bsky.social ans colleagues from a couple of years ago 🧪 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
And here is a short article from @theconversation.com that gives a bit of an explainer 🧪

A #thunderstorm while camping in the WA #Goldfields provides some nice photo opportunities.
Chuditch are such neat animals.
A beautiful day for thermal biologists to meet for a cuppa at Matilda Bay.
Less than 4 weeks left to submit an abstract to join our session in Antwerp (deadline 7 March). Oral and poster presentation slots available. @sebiology.bsky.social

Parrots in general are my favourite birds, with Bourke's parrots my favourite parrot by a narrow margin. Lorrikeets in general are my least favourite parrots: loud, messy, gaudy and so bitey.
At Fowler's Gap Research Station, we could tell how hot it was going to be each day by how close the wildlife was to the house. When I walked in and found a roo in the kitchen, I knew we were in for some extreme temperatures! #WildOz

As part of his PhD on the dietary ecology of meerkats, Walter Jubber carefully examined the diet of meerkats in the Kalahari. Although we like to think they feast on scorpions all the time (like my photo), over 70% of their diet is beetles. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Misconceptions and Set-Points
For decades, the concept of a thermoregulatory "set-point" has been a cornerstone of physiological research, yet its definition and application remain surprisingly inconsistent across disciplines. Our recent study, spear-headed by the inimitable Dr. Duncan Mitchell,…
The next in our series on revisiting concepts of thermal physiology, expertly driven by @duncanmitchellwits.bsky.social - what does set-point really mean, how does negative feedback operate? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
A faint but pretty #AuroraAustralis photographed early last Sunday morning in the Perth Hills
#Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas (or at least its tail) is still visible here in the #southernhemisphere. Clearly seen by eye and spectacular with binoculars I enjoyed photographing it over a #saltlake in the WA wheatbelt.
Excited to have our #numbat paper and photo featured in the 2025 @jexpbiol.bsky.social calendar

I managed to photograph the Jan 1st #AuroraAustralis in Cape Range National Park, near Exmouth, Western Australia. This is 22 deg north, but has beautiful #darkskies.
Yes, they certainly do!
Was lucky enough to be able to watch and photograph a #dugong from coastal cliffs in the #SharkBay #WorldHeritageArea. #mammalwatching #wildoz
