Wee ponds don’t have to be dug in the ground, small plates/pot saucers make important drinking stations for butterflies and hedgehogs! 🦋🦔🦋🦔

The Wee Pond Project aims to encourage the creation of many more easy small ponds to help freshwater biodiversity, even a wash basin can become a bustling hub for nature! 🐸💧🦆

In a spectacle of nature's infinite power, glorious Mount Fitz Roy, battered by furious winds, emerges from the clouds. Patagonia's mountains can be hidden for days, but when they clear, beauty is endless!

Have you ever seen a star in its dying moments? Thanks to Hubble, now you do! 🔭

This is the Egg Nebula (CRL2688), a protoplanetary nebula ~3,000 light-years away.

I processed 2016 Hubble data for the first image; 2002 for the second, which is more like a zoom into it.

Russian paramilitaries have raped women & boys, slaughtered hundreds of civilians in West & Central Africa, and spread disinformation across Africa. Some of the atrocities they’ve committed are shocking.

Ecco la bellissima colata di lava alimentata dalla frattura eruttiva che si è aperta sabato alla base del cratere Bocca Nuova dell'#Etna. Sporadicamente si osserva una blanda e impulsiva attività esplosiva al cratere di sud-est e alla Voragine. Foto di Giovinsky Aetnensis

The Royal Oak - Meavy, Devon

A 900 year old tree that is sadly in terminal decline

Whilst the bench is facing the wrong way 🙄 it faces the Royal Oak Inn that is yards from the tree it’s named after

People have admired the tree for six hundred years whilst enjoying a pint

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Bunya pine cones (Araucaria bidwillii) weigh up to 10kg each 🌲

The trees can grow to 50 metres in height, and the cones have hospitalised people when they fall

This scaly little chap is a pangolin, the most trafficked mammal in the world. Found in a plastic bag during the dismantling of an illegal mine, we cared for him with expert guidance and returned him safely to the wild. Learn more: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

These "I did that" stickers should be in every grocery store and supermarket across America, everywhere Trump's tariffs drive prices skywards.

Because that is precisely what his voters voted for.
