23.01.2022 It's another beautiful night here on Kangaroo Island

23.01.2022 This beautiful little bird is called a Southern Emu-wren, and we're so excited to have captured these shots this afternoon! This particular sub-species is only found on Kangaroo Island, with close relatives found in other coastal regions of southern Australia. How did they get their name? You might notice their tail feathers look remarkably similar to feathers of an Emu - a strong central spine and wispy laterals, hence 'Emu-wren'. ...

17.01.2022 Earlier this month, we were featured in the Escape.com.au magazine, alongside our mates James and Hayley Baillie, of Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island. Battling bushfires and then a global pandemic, 2020 has been a challenging year to say the least. We're so grateful for the amazing support of our family, friends and industry partners throughout the past 12 months and look forward to bouncing back strongly in 2021!

14.01.2022 Over the past three days, Craig and Blair hosted Trevor and Carol, who were visiting from Adelaide. Having a keen interest in birds, they booked our three day private birdwatching tour, 'Wild About Birds' - but with a twist! We teamed up with our good friends David and Penny from BioR - a local not-for-profit organisation dedicated to reconstructing habitat for biodiversity. BioR undertake a range of research activities including habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring (bird... banding, pitfall traps) and providing temporary habitat for wildlife (such as installing nest boxes). One of these activities is bird banding, and it involves setting nets within the bush to catch birds and then attach a small 'band' to their legs (each with a unique number) to help study their species. The team take various measurements, such as weight, estimated age and sex. These birds are quickly released back into their natural habitat. Trevor and Carol (and equally Craig and Blair) had a wonderful time getting up close to these beautiful birds and learning about the inspiring conservation work being done by the BioR team.
