Here's a fascinating read for anyone who appreciates our flying foxes. Their African cousins are the unsung heroes in the life cycle of the mighty Baobab tree, working the night shift alongside a crew of dedicated moths.
It's a brilliant story of pollination, partnership, and how the giants of the plant world rely on some of the smallest creatures.

It’s a quiet evening. Then I start hearing this bird calling.

Didn’t think much of it initially; I heard it throughout my childhood in Singapore… until something in my brain clicks and I’m like, “Hang on, a Pacific Koel? Here in Geelong?!”

It's not supposed to be in Victoria? Maybe other southeast Australian birdwatchers already know this but it’s news to me! I documented the call with Merlin Bird ID.

Have a listen, it's a lovely call.

Gimbir's first time as a dad, so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to the chicks when he sees them—it took him a while to get the hang of incubating the eggs, but he's taken to it well now that he gets the idea.
