  • Red-crested Turaco

    Thank you to everyone who helped me identify this bird. I can confirm it is a red-crested Turaco. It is native to western Angola, and is a frugivore (fruit eater).

  • In The Pink

    Here’s a vibrant Chilean Flamingo! These birds lay a single egg on their mud-mound nests.

  • Lion in the Shadows

    Lion in the Shadows

    Here’s another lion photo, this one from many, many years ago. There’s something very evocative about male lions, with their huge manes, powerful roar, and expressive faces. What is he thinking about?

  • Turkey Face

    Turkey Face

    Look at that face! Turkey’s are native to North America. They were introduced to England in the 16th Century. There’s even a reference to a turkey in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

  • The Amazon Milk Frog

    The Amazon Milk Frog

    This intricately patterned frog lives in the rainforest, and is named after those tiny white dots all over its back. When under duress they secrete a poison that is milky white in colour.

  • The Silver Swan

    The Silver Swan

    Swans have such long, graceful necks! Did you know there are 7 species of swan? How many species can you name (without googling it)?

  • The Dream Duck

    I like the way the sunlight sparkles around the ripples created by this interestingly coloured duck.

    Here’s a penguin. Look at his eye!
