The spotted pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus) is one of the smallest of all Australian birds at 3.1 to 3.9 in in length, and one of the most colourful. And, today I rescued one trapped in the third level of my office underground car park. It perked up once I got it outside. 😇
Wish I had been there to see you pluck it out of the air.
This made me roll my eyes 🙄
I popped down to Canberra last week and something extraordinary happened. This in itself was odd. Canberra doesn’t do extraordinary. Indeed, Canberra’s very essence, you might argue, is predictability... | @emfarrelly satpa.pe/canbe255e4

I have so much to do but I’m watching videos about how to tuck in a shirt #thewestisdoomed

Bruce @Springsteen turns fan, maybe even devotee, on a new album of soul/R&B covers that's respectful, brassy, E Street-free, string-packed. He sounds good but the question is does he bring something new/personal or, importantly, something you need to have?bernardzuel.net/post/bruce-s…
