🌏 Cerulean Kingfisher (Alcedo coerulescens) This small, metallic blue kingfisher with white underparts is endemic to parts of Indonesia. It lives in low-lying aquatic areas like streams, estuaries, and mudflats. It is a resident species, hunting by diving from a low perch or hovering over the water to catch aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small fish. No subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The Cerulean Kingfisher thrives in coastal, low-lying habitats like mangrove creeks, tidal estuaries, and fishponds, showing a strong preference for saltwater or brackish environments compared to many other river kingfishers. 📷: Photo by feathercollector via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/common-kingfisher-kingfisher-jade-8376008/ ZWSM

Meet Prince, my Amazon Milk tree froglet. Here he is resting in the moss. However, he is mostly arboreal, spending much of his time in the canopy of his paladarium.

🌎 Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula caparoch) The American subspecies of the Northern Hawk Owl has a hawk-like appearance with a long tail, pointed wings, and a round head with a white face bordered in black. Its plumage is dark brown and white, heavily barred underneath. Its distribution is primarily across the boreal forests of Alaska and Canada. It is nomadic, moving southward into the northern US in winter, especially when prey is scarce. It is unusual for an owl as it is mostly diurnal (active by day). It hunts from prominent perches, like treetops, flying fast and low, and can hover before swooping on small mammal prey. Two other subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Uncertain (COSEWIC) Fun fact: These owls are considered nomadic, not strictly migratory. Their populations and location shift dramatically based on the availability of their primary food source: Small rodents. 📷: Photo by Erik_Karits via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/northern-hawk-owl-owl-bird-animal-6961771/ QQXY

Looking forward to the British & Irish Botanical Conference tomorrow, where I'll be manning the @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social exhibit, sharing exciting opportunities for natural history holidays with a strong botanical focus. Do come and say hello!

Guten Morgen.

Ein Indri sitzt in einem Baum, ein wenig hinter Zweigen und Blättern versteckt. Er schaut mit aufgerissenen Augen Richtung Kamera und hat ein Blatt im Mund.

The South American Horned Frog, a.k.a. Pacman Frog, is an ambush predator; it can consume prey almost as big as itself.

I've installed one of my telescopes at an observatory in Texas. I will be remotely imaging from my home in Taiwan. I'll have more deep-sky objects to share very soon, from two telescopes, 12 hours apart.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See Alt text for clue) 🌍🌏 #NameThisBird #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
I am a medium-sized bird known for my striking black-tipped, fan-like crest that I can raise and lower. My body plumage is a distinctive cinnamon-pink or sandy-buff, sharply contrasting with my bold black and white striped wings. I primarily forage on the ground using my long, slender, downward-curving bill. 2.5 Flash 📷: Photo by SajeevBhaskaran via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/sajeevbhaskaran-18543861/

We have a young 'un who visits us on the allotment regularly. He likes to eat my finger and follows us around the plot, even coming into the greenhouses or shed if we're there. Getting him onto seed now although he wasn't there yesterday
