A bonus - whilst undertaking our planting session this afternoon a turtle nest was spotted and steps taken to protect. Handy that we had one of our Turtle Trackers @TurtleSAT SOSNT team with us!

Hatchling long neck turtles are still emerging from the nest before the winter chill sets in. Here is a @TurtleSAT sighting from NE Vic Long necks will overwinter in the nest if they don't get out before winter #TurtleSAT #1MillionTurtles #CitizenScience #biodiversity #Turtles

A very exciting morning of #turtle trapping resulted in my very first baby eastern long-neck (Chelodina longicollis)! It is a rare treat to find #turtles this young. #1MillionTurtles #Research #Conservation

We caught more #TinyTurtles! These precious long-necks beat the odds, evaded the onslaught of foxes, & survived the first ~1-3 years of life. We're working with partners like @GreeningAust to test strategies for protecting nests & boosting survival. #Conservation #1MillionTurtles

Like most people, I love #turtles weird, smiling faces. You can help #turtles by moving them across the road (many die on roads each year) and reporting sightings via @TurtleSAT. #1MillionTurtles #Conservation #WildlifePhotography

It's a good day at work when you get to meet baby turtles - La Trobe University's @JamesUVanDyke says a good way to support local turtle populations is to log observations on @TurtleSAT #TurtlesAlburyWodonga

Initially found crossing the road heading to the stormwater drain. The intent was clear.

Our urban wildlife will use what is available, what a shame there is very little consideration of creating functional habitat when building infrastructure- build it and they will come and do a great job too. @TurtleSAT #UrbanWildlife #Stormwater

People with nets last week. Foxes this week. Our turtle populations are resilient, but not at this scale. @TurtleSAT @wendy_harmer

In areas of Western Sydney like @blacktowncc & @lpoolcouncil, wetlands have declined by a staggering 20-25% in just 8 years. No wonder our "common" turtle populations are in serious decline. This preliminary analysis is part a Master's student project @westernsydneyu

This dam is pretty low & I could count at least 10 decent sized turtles. Is this good or bad? #TurtleTwitter @JamesUVanDyke
