- How do you know whether or not your conservation monitoring program is helping you to deliver outcomes? We have made a checklist of 15 distinct reasons - some more directly connected to outcomes than others.

- “Bold actions for a resilient future” is the theme of the #ESA2025 conference @ecolsocaus.bsky.social . At 10:30am I will give my talk in the session on “extreme weather” and provide the answer to the question - it is 6, if you can’t get there or have better places to be.

- Do I see a tiny uptick in the TSX? Has the inexorable decline stopped, or is it just a wobble on the path to mass extinction? Www.tsx.org.au
- And this morning there was Peregrine Falcon at uni footbridge, Black Cockies are about, two Night Heron behind zoo
- Looking for a nice bird, flower, Rakali, reptile, frog walk at #ESA2025 this week - head to the St Peter’s billabong @ecolsocaus.bsky.social - darter, water skink, c30 bird species, and lots of native plants. Little grassbird and reed warbler nesting.

- For those who love plants, many groups have been restoring the vegetation of the Adelaide Plains, once harbouring 750 species! Head east along the river towards the St Peter’s billabong. Some things in flower: Linum marginale, Goodenia amplexans (strong smell) and Malva #ESA2025
- We donate $25,000 a year to Nature Glenelg Trust. They do remarkable on-ground work for biodiversity in the places that we love #ESA2025. Eaglehawk waterhole, an NGT property, south of Bordertown, probably has South Australia’s best woodland bird diversity.

- Yet another Australian extinction - www.theguardian.com/environment/.... Ironically the federal government is still allowing the destruction of the habitat for nationally listed threatened species - species such as the Eyre Peninsula southern emuwren and koala #biodiversity #murraywatt
