Bright-eyed Brown butterfly - what a delight to see!
"This small butterfly (from the Nymphalidae or ‘Brown’ family) is known to inhabit peat swamps in coastal and inland areas in the far south-east of South Australia and western Victoria – habitat that has been significantly reduced by wetland drainage and other factors since colonisation. "
Butterflies on the Brink

The local creek has been replanted (over many years) with many native species including Carex, the larval plant of these little gems, while garden/paddock plantings of Leptospermum and Melaleuca spp. help as food-plants.

Of course, this may be the only bright-eyed brown for kilomiles - hopefully not - but i'm classing it as small (and beautiful) success.
i'm wrapt to the gills 😁

Having people vote on whether or not to grant other people full human rights is as absurd and as revolting as it gets. This is where “the tyranny of the majority” prevails every time, and why democracy in itself is not enough for justice. #AboriginalRights #Australia #LastRT

I'm looking for some penfriends


Hi everybody!

I'm looking for some penfriends from the Northern European countries, Canada, Greenland, Australia or New Zealand for long term letter exchange.

I love traditional writing tools and papers. And I also love learning about new people and different cultures.

If you think that you might be interested about exchanging letters with a Portuguese EFL teacher who is really interested in learning more about your lovely country and you, please, feel free to drop me a line or two.

Thanks.

Whenever I'll be asked where I come from, it will be easy to tell. "#Austria, not #Australia - The country where #covid incidence is one of the highest, not one of the lowest." - No more need to make use of #Mozart, cattle or #kangaroos.
