Happy #WorldPenguinDay! Today, April 25th, is World Penguin Day. Wait – didn’t we just have Penguin Awareness Day? Yep! But because penguins are so special, they get two global days of appreciation! 📸 Little Penguin Parade by Phillip Island Nature Parks
It’s an extra special #WorldCurlewDay! We are still celebrating the incredible win at Toondah Harbour, which means World Curlew Day feels more special than ever. Australia has three migratory 'true' curlew species – the Whimbrel, Little Curlew & Eastern Curlew 📸Mick Barker
Exciting times! Gang-gang Cockatoos are on the move as they head to lower altitudes for the cooler months. If you live in south-east Australia, keep an ear out for their creaky calls! Learn more: birdlife.org.au/bird-profiles/… 📸Images by Connor Evans via IG: thewildergrid
#BREAKING: Toondah Harbour has been saved! 🎉 We are thrilled to tell you that Toondah Harbour has finally been saved after Walker Corp withdrew their real-estate proposal today. This is a huge win for the environment and the birds that call Toondah home!
#Breaking: new nature reforms announced today will not stop wildlife extinctions. Australia is in an extinction crisis, and the government's newly announced reforms will not do enough to protect nature. Read more: birdlife.org.au/news/latest-ep… 📸Bianca Vilculescu
Help us in the final push to save Toondah Harbour! Last week, the Minister proposed rejecting Toondah Harbour and has given us 10 days to have our say on that decision. Tag @tanya_plibersek and encourage her to hold firm✊ Read more: birdlife.org.au/news/final-pus… 📸Tony Bellette

Meet the Cape Barren Goose, our #BirdOfTheWeek! Its unique yellowish-green beak and pink legs make it unmistakable. Found on offshore islands and southern mainland Australia in summer, listen for its pig-like honking calls earning it the nickname 'pig goose' 📸Jan Wegener

@BirdlifeOz Birdlife Australia is a wonderful organisation. Good at getting the community mobilised to observe and protect our birds and migratory birds. Much more to do of course but the news about the wetland protections is welcome.
BREAKING NEWS: GLORIA IS BACK!!!!! After three and a half months with no location data, last night we received three new fixes from about 100 km north of Birdsville in QLD. It looks like her and Marcelina have similar taste for the channel country. GO GLORIA! @BirdlifeOz
Bravo to @BirdlifeOz and CEO Kate Millar for their relentless work to protect the critical Toondah harbour wetlands with important minister @tanya_plibersek's proposed decision to reject planned development. Stick to your guns! Read the @guardianeco news here…

@BirdlifeOz @tanya_plibersek Thanks so much for the super fast reply I'll get onto it now
Hey Aus Media, big announcement from #AFL about the name of the AFL Tasmania team today. I happen to be in Tasmania today. Coincidence? #GoSwifties @BirdlifeOz @BirdBruny
@BirdlifeOz @BirdLifeTas @Inala_Nature (And the Bruny Is Environmental Network) A fabulous weekend, well done to all involved Inspiring speakers, so many people doing such important work to help our birds survive & thrive
Fascinating if somewhat depressing talk by Andrew Hingston of the Threatened Woodland Birds of Bruny Island about the plight of 40 Spotted Pardalote and Swift Parrot. The upshot is that both species can only survive with active conservation management. @BirdBruny @BirdlifeOz
By Godwit, Bruny Island really is the most gorgeous place to hold a bird festival. The birdlfe here is phenomenal and the conservation and speakers both inspiring and stimulating. @BirdBruny @BirdlifeOz
Our western district team saw some great bird numbers last week during annual shorebird monitoring: 🔸100 Fairy Terns on St Peters Island (supporting @BirdlifeOz Fairy Tern census) 🔸27 Eastern Curlews (critically endangered) 🔸34 Hooded Plovers (threatened species) 🧵1/2
More than 20 community members joined us & @BirdlifeOz for a Fairy Tern workshop in Streaky Bay last week. At a field session we scoped adult Fairy Terns and also two Fairy Tern chicks, approximately 18-20 days old! This was a great experience for workshop attendees.
Govt has committed to no new extinctions but isn’t listening to environmental scientists when it comes to delivering that like ending native forest logging, substantially increasing funding to threatened species & enviro laws that actually protect Nature. theguardian.com/australia-news…
Have you seen the results of @AusTSX's 2023 release of the Threatened Bird Index? This was the first major update to the bird index since 2018! You can visit tsx.org.au/tsx2023 to investigate these trends for different bird groups and jurisdictions. @BirdlifeOz #TSXTuesday
Happy #WorldWetlandsDay This year's theme is "Wetlands and Human Wellbeing". .This is me last week standing on the same spot at Seaford Wetlands where this photo was taken when I was 11. Wetlands are not only vital for our physical health, but can also sustain our souls.
👀 LOOK WHERE MARCELINA IS NOW! She has just crossed the border into QLD and entered the Lake Eyre Basin! She’s currently near the Cooper Creek after flying 250 km from the Yancannia Creek area east of Packsaddle, between White Cliffs and Tibooburra, where she spent ten days.
What a joy it is to witness this journey in real time; the first long distance movements ever recorded for the Endangered Australian Painted-snipe. She is now over 700 km from where we caught her just over three weeks ago near Balranald. @BirdlifeOz
The Allan Government may ignore the recommendations of its own Parliamentary Inquiry today. This is truly shocking. Email your local MP and voice your support for a ban now.💔Our hearts are breaking, but we will continue until our native birds are safe.
Together with our friends from @rspca_vic, @wildlife_vic & @BirdlifeOz we've published full-page ads in Vic media calling on politicians to adopt the recommendations of the recent Inquiry into duck shooting & END the brutal slaughter of native waterbirds once and for all.
And thanks to @TERN_Aus @Biodivcouncil and hundreds of scientists, @UQ_CBCS and thousands of citizen scientists @CitSciOZ and @BirdlifeOz
Just on @abcnews 7:30 report: @HugePossum’s excellent interview raising the alarm about the continual decline of our threatened bird species the past 2 decades and the ineffective EPBC Act. Government needs to do better to enforce it & help land-owners etc to arrest declines.
