If so please delete this one.<br /><br />The Red Triangle slug is very wierd looking.<br /><br />WRT to bird song recordings Avibase is very good. It has links at the species level to Xenocanto covering a range of calls of most Australian birds plus many overseas ones.<br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-39721330692945259852012-02-10T09:35:29.601+11:002012-02-10T09:35:29.601+11:00Hi Boobook.

I <i>think</i> he found that there were a number of cryptic species in SE NSW, which are yet to be described. <br /><br />We also get <i>Triboniophorus</i> here. They graze on the algae growing over the recycling bins! Our ones are greyish, whereas the ones on Mt Bellenden Ker are orange. Fortunately, someone is working on the taxonomy of <i>Triboniophorus</i>, so we should know more about them soon(ish). (I'm convinced there are at least two species in N NSW/SE Qld.)Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063904446757916981noreply@blogger.com
