Anyone got a favourite or one they want to campaign for, try to pull in some extra votes?
Fernbird or Bittern for me
I’m an undecided voter, gonna try to sell them to me? What do you like about those two in particular?
both very unassuming, and seldom seen.
You might see fernbirds, but will more often just hear a double tick-tick-tick-chirp
Australasian bittern, good luck see one of them. If you are very lucky you might just hear one ‘booming’ with a himpf-himpf call
Again the humble sandfly gets a snub. If a bat can win so should our bitey airborne tiny thing.
When our girls were little I tried as I much as I could to convince them that sea gulls were sandfly because they lived on the sand and could fly
