About Me

My photo
Canberra-based naturalist, conservationist, educator since 1980. I’m passionate about the natural world (especially the southern hemisphere), and trying to understand it and to share such understandings. To that aim I’ve written several books (most recently 'Birds in Their Habitats' and 'Australian Bird Names; origins and meanings'), run tours all over Australia, and for the last decade to South America, done a lot of ABC radio work, chaired a government environmental advisory committee and taught many adult education classes – and of course presented this blog, since 2012. I am the recipient of the Australian Natural History Medallion, the Australian Plants Award and most recently a Medal of the Order of Australia for ‘services to conservation and the environment’. I live happily in suburban Duffy with my partner Louise surrounded by a dense native garden and lots of birds.

Your subject line reminded me of Ian Warden's columns of many years ago in which he used to refer to "... my Tuggeranong reader." I would hope that you have the well-deserved several thousand Melbourne followers and a fair swag of them turn up at the Hill of Content.

Thanks Martin, fingers firmly crossed! Not sure that I wish to remind anyone of IW, but there you go...
