The Aurora was out last night, and while it wasn’t as intense as the previous night, it still had its moments!

Leopards are one of the apex predators in Africa and we were thrilled to have a couple encounters.
Unlike lions, they are solitary animals and can drag a prey that’s twice their body weight up into a tree.
This male had just finished a large meal of zebra and was resting in the shade.

Well that's easy, I'll just repost this from the weekend 😄

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about #Fighting birds and the Alternative Bird is #Chaffinches.

I've gone with a juvenile & adult Grey Heron having a scrap that lasted around 90 seconds (no Herons were killed in this battle)

It's @alan678.bsky.social turn for #BirdOfTheDay and he has chosen to go with #LunchTime, that's any bird with food in their beaks and the Alternative is #Fluffy birds

I've gone with a Grey Heron, Kingfisher, Cattle Egret & Great Crested Grebe

Squirrel kids chasing each other round their oak home. 😊
Such enigmatic little guys, but can't help wishing they were reds. Not their fault they're here mind. #photography #Nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #mammals #shropshire #squirrels

Here's the #FestiveDailyRobin which starts today and runs until the 31st December, so let's all dig out the bird that makes people smile and think of Xmas.

Robins from around the world are welcome too.

Crazy Heron fight at Marbury Country Park. One chasing the other, forcing it to land in deep water, before holding it under in what looked like an attempt to drown it! Not witnessed that before! #photography #birds #Nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #Herons #birdphotography #CheshireBirds
