Some work spaces come with something special: like this morning as the fog started to lift at the our National Tree Day site.

Square-tailed Kite – Lophoictinia isura

.

Our Tuesday Bushcare team was lucky to be able to watch a pair of Square-tailed Kites Lophoictinia isura building their nest in a nearby eucalypt.

This is the second year nesting at this site. We watched while these awesome birds would fly in with long sticks in their beak which they would then weave into the nest.

Koala Shelly and joey

.

Cold on Tuesday morning so Koala Shelly had her joey wrapped up warm.

As part of our Koala research Pieter Demmers is developing a citizen science project to id and track Koalas in the Reserve and surrounds.

This morning I watched an Australian Magpie Cracticus tibicen flying in with sticks to weave into their nest.
