The Sacred Kingfishers are making their way back to Victoria for summer.

Every autumn, these little birds head north to escape the colder months, with some travelling as far as Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

Then in spring they make the journey back south to breed, usually arriving in Victoria around September and October.

Last Saturday was World Migratory Bird Day, which is a good excuse to share one of our favourite Australian birds.

Here's one we spotted at Woodlands Historic Park, just north of Melbourne.

So if you're out and about over the next few weeks, keep an eye out for that flash of blue and green.

Have you spotted one yet this spring?

It's World Maritime Day.

Sam was recently asked to be a guest speaker at an event on the ex Sea Shepherd vessel the Steve Irwin now owned by Ship for Good about his tales at sea. In 2008 he joined Operation Migaloo in the Southern Ocean just off the coast of Antarctica where he was a sound recordist for the Animal Planet documentary series Whale Wars.

While battling the Japanese coast guard, flash bang grenades, supposed stray bullets, the wild seas and some serious sea sickness, Sam gained a lot of stories to tell the grandkids.

Here is episode 1 of 'Sam's tales from the Steve Irwin'

We never thought I'd do this again.

The tape is all bunched up so I'm having to untangle it with the old HB pencil

We were out with St John Ambulance Victoria this morning, filming their first aid training in schools.

It’s the first day of spring, which means more time outdoors, more sport, more adventures and, inevitably, a few more accidents and injuries.

A good reminder that there’s no better time to brush up on your first aid skills.

You never know when you might need them

Why do people wear white coats in labs?

Before the 19th century, scientists often wore colourful or patterned clothes! The white became popular because it shows dirt and spills easily, reminding us to stay clean and safe.
