Hello, my name is Ben, but you can call me by my username, Lord.of.the.Proterozoic
I am a hobbyist nature photographer from Sydney, Australia. I mainly focus on photographing native birds and wildflowers, particularly my favourite Australian parrot and Proteaceae species.
My other hobbies and interests include:
- Paleontology and evolutionary biology (particularly of ornithopod and theropod dinosaurs and Permian therapsids)
- Early Earth history (as my username would suggest!)
- Threatened species conservation
- Ecology
- Ornithology
- Taxonomy
- Zookeeping
I hope to get involved in scientific research and field work of local and endangered species and ecosystems. My main goal is to work with swift, western ground and orange-bellied parrots, as well as the various endangered ecological communities of the Greater Sydney Area.
I also hope to travel across all of Australia to photograph more of our weird and wonderful endemic species.
I hope my contributions to Wikipedia are meaningful and helpful. I want to help make knowledge on subjects I am passionate about more freely and easily accessible to the general public.
Some of my major contributions include:
- List of Grevillea species
- Ground parrot
- Hakea pulvinifera
- Page creations for various stromatolite species of the Proterozoic eon of Australia
I hope you have a wonderful day!
