When you're all getting ready together… and suddenly you're the only one left. 😂🐦
Three beautiful blue wrens enjoying a little grooming time together. The girls even helped him tidy up his head feathers…
Then they left. 🤣
Watch until the end. 💙

Before all the rain disappears, I have made a low fence on the road verge, whipper snippered all the introduced annual graases to prevent seed heads forming and planted inside the fence 4 native grasses: Triandra themeda, (Kangaroo grass), Anthosachne scabra, (Native wheat grass), Rytidosperma setaceum, ( Bristly Wallaby grass) and Austrstipa exilis, (Heath Spear-grass). All native to Mt Lofty Ranges and food sources for small finches and parrots. The fence is mostly to keep out other energetic whipper snippers and to make a small zone, roughly 1.5m2, which can be focussed on for w**d reduction. Even a small effort like this helps. Birds know how to find food, we just have to help them by planting it. The bush photo is the other side of the road (my inspiration) and the final shot is an insect laying eggs on spear grass. The seeds and eggs are remarkably similar - they need grasses too!!

Found this guy hiding under an outdoor pot. Only a small scorpion and not often seen in the Adelaide Hills but living beneath stones and leaf litter.

Backyard Encounters #1
This is happening in our backyards… whether we see it or not.
A praying mantis feeds on a European honeybee,
while a native bee stays close by.
It’s confronting—but this is nature.
Every garden holds a hidden world of predators, pollinators and survival.
Would this surprise you if it happened in your backyard?

Every day, habitat is disappearing. But something powerful is happening too. People are bringing it back, one backyard at a time.
By adding simple elements like water, shelter and native plants, you can create a space where birds, insects, frogs and lizards don’t just visit… they live.
It’s not about having a perfect garden.
It’s about creating a living one.
🌿 A shallow water dish can save a bird on a hot day
🌿 A pile of sticks can shelter a skink
🌿 Native plants can feed an entire ecosystem
Small changes. Real impact.
If you’ve ever wanted to help wildlife but didn’t know where to start, this is it.
👉 We’re building a movement of backyards that give back to nature.

Follow along and start creating your own wild backyard.

It started with a simple bowl of water.
Then these New Holland honeyeater arrived, not just to drink but to bathe, play and cool off.
In a warming climate, access to safe, shallow water can make a real difference for small birds.
💧 Change the water daily
🌿 Add a rock or stick for perching
🐦 Place it near cover
Small actions. Real impact.
