It’s hardly surprising that a major corporation would use a PR firm to promote its worldview. But paying scientists $10,000 to write articles undermining a climate change report is just a bit too unsubtle.
5 species of birds: delight!
Another reason to love this village: just walking to the post office, I encounter five different species of birds!
Rainbow lorikeets (noisy and obvious, but still pretty), Australian magpies (confident and my favourite), Australian ravens (with their languid calls), noisy miners (yes, they’re noisy!) and pigeons.
OK, the skyrat pigeons can go. But the rest are just wonderful — even the aggressive miners. And add to that the family of pied currawongs that live nearby and several other species and you have a wonderful community in which to live.
