African Jacana posing in the long grass of the hippo wetland. Showing off the distinctive rusty plumage and the blue bill and frontal shield. A stunning water bird

A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.” Henry Ward Beecher
Really great to have a tour of Swiss Cottage Library. It is housed in Basil Spence’s architectural gem of a building (1963-64). It s a great space which @CamdenLabour have significantly improved to make fit for the present generation of residents.
This is part of our prioritising of long-term investment in libraries, including decarbonisation and initiatives like the @libraryofthings to meet residents' evolving needs. West Hampstead Library has just been overhauled. #Kilburn Library is up next. ♥️🌹📖📚

Quakers are kicking ourselves we didn’t think of this joke. Bravo to Private Eye. LOL

Magnificent Kudu’s of Kruger. Bull sporting a beautiful set of long spiral horns while a female inquisitively kept an eye on our movements. These antelope are browsers who prefer thick bush & woodland areas

One of the most spectacular flowers I ever saw was gigantic Rafflesia banaoana, spanning a half-metre. Seen by just a handful of people, it grows only in an inaccessible forest in the Philippines, reached with the help of a tribe, the Banao Indigenous Community. Seeing it in 2022 was life-changing for me.

I'm so excited! I was just documenting a population of desert hyacinth (Cistanche phelypaea) when a striped hawkmoth appeared and began pollinating! This was an encounter I'll never forget.

Two very convincing leaf mimicing katydids from the Peruvian Amazon: The "Peacock Katydid" (Pterochroza ocellata) to the left and a yellow leaf mimic (Cycloptera sp.) to the right.

Best of 2024:
Sitting pretty.
Like an ornament on a Christmas tree, a black-shouldered kite perched atop a Norfolk Island pine at the Goolwa Barrage.
I was so pleased that this photo was a finalist in this year's BirdLife Australia Photography Awards.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends.
Although the Persian New Year (Nowruz) coincides with the first day of spring.
