These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade.

A common loon got trapped in a fishing line, one of the many unseen dangers wildlife face every day. Unable to free itself, it cried out for help until rescuers arrived, carefully removing the line and releasing it back into the water.

Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

More than 1m Europeans have called for a full suspension of the EU's trade agreement with Israel.

However the EU is planning just a partial suspension, tariffs on only 40% of Israel's exports.

This not acceptable.

Full suspension of the Trade Agreement with Israel.

NOW.

Ulster University to cut up to 450 jobs It is not clear which areas of the university, which has campuses in Belfast, Londonderry and Coleraine as well as a campus in Qatar, will be affected.

Kookaburra. One of my favourite birds.💚

A less than regular visitor came by this afternoon, a male Costa’s hummingbird with that amazing purple gorget! Also some nice squeaks and wing hums.

On the train back home from Warsaw right now, and two Ukrainian women across the carriage from me are absolutely delighted about the Hungarian election result. One is in tears and the other is laughing. This is what it means to get rid of the cynical, kleptocratic prick.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

I love lizards, but bearded dragons are cuter than these guys.

Excellent, keep it up fellow citizens. I do not want to see American booze in the LCBO when I visit this summer, either. There was zero in January.

Go Pope! 🤣😂

I agree with the EU, I personally hate these damn big ass trucks on any road, people like me with a small car can't see past them, just a few weeks ago one came flying down a side road, pulled right out beside me then cut me off, I had to slam on my brakes or my car would have been totaled.

Polish Prime Minister Donald
Tusk:

Victor Orbán’s minister offered Sergey Lavrov to send him EU documents through the Hungarian embassy in Moscow. It’s really beyond shocking.
