SKRiley_Author, to wildlife

We live under the flight path of wildlife traveling between native forests in #CoastalNSW. At midsummer, these creatures are all very busy feeding on, pollinating, propagating (through excreting seeds), and regenerating not only the great native forests, but many private gardens.

Why not give your local native birds and wildlife a gift for #2024 by planning now to plant edible native flowers, shrubs and trees wherever you live. Or find a Bush Regeneration group to work with on local public lands.

Before long, #Biodiversity Value will become a measurable contribution to the value of both public and privately owned land, including yours. It’s the beautiful gift you give to yourself, your children’s children, our wildlife, and the planet.

Festive Midsummer Resident #2 Native Frangipani (Hymenosporum flavum), a rainforest tree native to New South Wales, Queensland and New Guinea. Their highly fragrant flowers (similar to plumeria) attract native birds, bees and butterflies. A cluster of five-petalled native frangipani blossoms, shades ranging from creamy white to yellow to pale orange, are seen against a green leafy background.
Midsummer Visitors #3 The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a large white parrot. It has a dark grey-black bill, a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest and a yellow wash on the underside of the wings. Sexes are similar, although the female can be separated at close range by its red-brown eye (darker brown in the male). This is a noisy and conspicuous cockatoo, both at rest and in flight. They feed on Berries, seeds, nuts, and fruit, and live long lives of between 40 – 100 years. An adult cockatoo with wings outstretched feeds a younger family member as they perch together on the mottled grey trunk of a gum tree.

Sometimes I take pictures of animals that aren’t birds, although these Flying Foxes may count as honorary birds anyway! Taken in April 2022 in Adelaide, South Australia
