While out on your daily walk see if you can spot these four Magpie Geese in Deniliquin! Dan Hutton, one of our landcare group members says that they have been at McFaull Park Lagoon for a while now and appear very settled. 🌱💚 #Landcare #wildoz @MLLSEnviro @BirdlifeOz

For the love of birds help this crowd funding campaign raise $116,300. The Painted Snipe has no government funding. Here's the kicker there's only about 340 left. Help today. Give someone the gift of making a difference this Christmas #landcare #fortheloveofbirds #TrackingAPSnipe

Southern Brown Tree 🐸 are so beautiful. This one has been in a good paddock - literally! They gobble up so much insect life on farmed land that agriculture would be buried under bugs without them, birds, & bats. @FrogIDAus @NationalFarmers @VicFarmers @DELWP_Vic @GreatFibre

It’s a privilege to survey in Yanga NP. I reckon it has some of the best red gum wetlands on Earth. Apparently, no one’s been up this particular section for 20 years. Thousands upon thousands of waterbirds are breeding. #NSWRiverina @nswenviromedia

The Intermediate Egret has breeding colours that are far from mid-range. Check out this stunning breeder taking advantage of the flooded Tall Spike-rush on a farm in the Lowbidgee. It's boom time! #WildOz #Balranald #NSWRiverina #MurrayDarling
