Greetings, fellow naturalists.

My name is Ben Johnson. I am an amateur birder, photographer and naturalist from the Western Sydney area. I am currently studying animal care and I aspire to be an ornithologist, ecologist and conservationist.

I am an enthusiast for Australian native birds (especially parrots) and Proteaceae, such as Banksia, Grevillea and Hakea. As you can tell from my observations, they are my favourite species to photograph and observe.

Current favourite species: Western ground parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis flaviventris) and Grevillea sphacelata
