The male Superb Fairy Wren's blue colour comes from microscopic structures on the feathers that scatter light. The blue plumage reflects UV light extremely strongly, making it even more spectacular to other fairywrens whose colour vision extends into the UV spectrum. #birds #aussieBirds #nikon

The Spotted Pardalote's name is actually "spotted" twice. The word "pardalote" comes from ancient Greek pardalōtos, meaning "spotted like a leopard," and its scientific name Pardalotus punctatus also means "spotted". #BirdOfTheDay #speckles&spots #birds #australianBirds #australia #spots #wildBird

Fun fact: You can tell whether an adult galah (Eolophus roseicapilla) is male or female by looking at their eyes. Males have dark brown eyes, while females (like this one pictured here) have red eyes. #birdphotography #Australianbirds #parrots #galah #photography #nature #naturephotography

My favourite photo from last year. A Blakiston's fish-owl with a small fish at a weir just outside of Rausu (羅臼町) in Hokkaido, Japan. These are large eagle-sized owls which fish at night, osprey-style, by jumping into the water and grabbing fish with their claws. #birds #鳥

Slender sun orchid (Thelymitra pauciflora) and pink sun orchid (Thelymitra carnea) flowering close together near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC. These two small sun orchids combine to form some interesting hybrids at this location but I didn't see any out this year on my quick visit #orchids

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
