From orbit, Dubai looks like it has glowing streets of gold. Palm Island (second photo) sparkles like a cosmic jewel. I have only been transient through the airport; I hope someday to pay it a proper visit. Nikon Z9, 200mm f2, 1/320 sec, ISO 25600.

Fantastic to see greater horseshoe bats back with pups in the new bespoke reserve in W Sussex using the thermoregulated incubator. These new modifications are part of our Horseshoes Heading East project funded by @NaturalEngland's Species Recovery Programme. @sussexbatgroup
