Tasmania 2022 day 1

Recently I had a short trip to Tasmania for work, I managed to make a few observations in my free time, I have made a short post on the various species, those new to me or rare and endangered species.
I noticed this beautiful little bush pea while waiting for Phil from the Devonport City Council (AKA @phildevoid) to show me his secret spot where he promised we had a good chance to spot a Critically Endangered, Swift Parrot Lathamus discolor (below). I was not disappointed with 10 individuals spotted, but they were high in the trees and difficult to get a good image.


I also noticed some flowering plants that were new to me including a new Pultenaea species and an Australian Indigo Indigofera australis which while this occurs in my own region i have not actually managed to seen it before.

In all I managed only 33 observations but a respectable 21 species, you can see them all here.

Devonport City Council will be participating in the Great Southern Bioblitz for the first time in 2022 it will be interesting to see how they go. You can check out or join the project below.
