As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.

Female Gang-gang Cockatoos might not be as striking as the males (which have a bright red head) but I love their slate-grey colour with touches of white throughout, real beauties! #cockatoo #parrot #birdart #pencilart #parrot

Pink-bellied Moth! (Oenochroma vinaria) I found this magnificent creature in my garden last night. It was still stretching its wings, so I was able to get very close with my macro lens. Thank you for your patience, little friend! #invertebrates

I heard angry Sulphur-crested Cockatoos overhead and found them yelling at a Grey Goshawk! #birds

There are Dung Beetles in my garden! Cephalodesmius armiger are native to Australia, live in rainforest floors, and construct balls of rotting vegetable matter instead of dung. #invertebrates #insects

It was a very rare treat at Taronga Western Plains Zoo to see Tasmanian Devils running* about in the sun. * maybe "galumphing" would be a better word? They have a very odd gait.
