Portraits from a Naturalist: GaznDeb Quirk
This is a new segment designed to highlight SEQ fauna [and perhaps flora and fungi...]. Each month my cunning plan is to publish pictures from a SEQ naturalist. All can enjoy the images and hopefully learn a little more about our wonderful biodiversity!

If you have an interest in Australian butterflies [and even if you haven't...yet] please check out the following brilliant site.

There are 420+ species of Australian butterflies, and many of them are found nowhere else in the world. This site is based around my photo gallery, which currently includes photos of 309 Australian species. There is also a Blog about Australian butterflies and my efforts to photograph them.
