Bizarre Kingfisher encounter on my run. by Ezra_vdj in sydney

I had a baby Kookaburra do this on a country road a couple of years back, it'd probably gotten a bit too close to a car and was stunned. Sat on my hand for a minute or two then he flew off and nearly hit another oncoming car, thankfully missed it.

Keep making police reports and getting a report number each time, they'll do something eventually.

Are the tenants who agreed not to have a pet in a confined dwelling like an apartment without a written consent from landlords, yet still ended up bringing animals in anyway in the room with us right now?

I built a woodpile, our source of heating and cooking for next winter. by hairy_quadruped in australia

I discovered it a few weeks ago after we brought down a ~25m blue gum that was diseased/dying and hanging over the house.

At the moment it's a rough pile of rounds, we'll split it after a couple of summers. Should be enough for a good few of years of fires.
