New ‘Kingfishers of Australia’ design
This colourful design celebrates Australia’s 10 species of kingfisher, including 2 species of kookaburra. (In case you’re wondering, the Laughing Kookaburra is the kookaburra species familiar to most people, and the one with the ‘laughing’ call. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lives in Northern Australia, and has a call that’s been described as ‘appalling’. You may think that’s unfair until you hear a group of Blue-winged Kookaburras settling down for the night, and mistakenly think it’s a raucous pack of demons.)
This design is now available as an Organic Cotton Tea Towel and a Postcard.

This design is also available on t-shirts, hoodies, posters, art prints and other goodies from my Redbubble store.

Plant a tree and the Wildworld will say thankyou
Lots of animals need trees, so planting native trees, and helping them to grow big and strong, is one of the best ways you can Help the Wildworld. Other plants provide food and shelter to animals too, so it doesn't have to be a tree. You could also plant a shrub,...
