Episode Details

The Australian Magpie has officially taken the crown as South Australia’s most common bird, thanks to record-breaking Aussie Bird Count results—over five million sightings logged by 64,000 citizen scientists. The common blackbird surged to fourth, while rainbow lorikeets and New Holland Honeyeaters held steady in second and third. These counts reveal vital clues about ecosystem health, showing both challenges and hopeful signs: endangered curlew sandpipers and beautiful firetails were spotted, and urban areas emerged as unexpected wildlife havens—even during a dry year. Simple actions like planting natives and providing water can make a big difference for our feathered friends.
