Lots of new fractal friends have been added to the Oz Wildlife Studio Shop. This time they are matted prints for your young child’s bedroom wall or to decorate the nursery with bright and eye-catching, educational wall art.

Pin ItThis post caught my eye as I witness similar behaviour in my garden. These feisty little birds show no fear of much larger birds when it comes to feeding time. For this sulphur-crested cockatoo, spotted yesterday in Sydney’s Hyde Park, it came in the form of a noisy miner swooping in to knock him off his perch. Taronga Zoo bird expert Matthew Kettle said miners rarely hesitated to pester larger species invading their turf, particularly with nesting season so close. “They’re not really trying to harm the cockatoo, they’re just want to bug him to a point where he will leave,” Mr Kettle said.

Battered and bruised after a lonely night in the bush, these abandoned twin baby wallabies are born survivors. The helpless pair – weighing in at just 400g each and barely five months old – were yesterday recovering after being found at Killara, Sydney at the weekend.
Here is an autumn inspired collection of cats by various artisans on the hand-made site Etsy. This is a beautiful collection and the diversity of the art is wonderful. I am priviledged to have my “Henna Cat in Autumn Leaves” in this Treasury. This Treasury was put together by ReeshaMonaLisa on Etsy
