A Western Citril in ‘rocket mode’… Photographed @golf_kigali in #Kigali #Rwanda #RwOT #TwitterNatureCommunity #VisitRwanda
Really looking forward to going home to #Rwanda next week. Until then I will be posting images to highlight the country’s stunning avian diversity. I’ll start with one of my favourites, the Malachite Kingfisher. Photographed @golf_kigali #visitRwanda #TwitterNatureCommunity

One of the best moments in my career. The rediscovery of the Victorian Earless Dragon. In 2019 I undertook the taxonomic research to show this little lizard was a unique species, different to those in the ACT & NSW. So, so pleased it is not extinct! @museumsvictoria
The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ban…

Common Crane (Grus grus) is a passage bird in Hungary, usually wintering in Spain, North Africa and Asia Minor. So I was delighted today to find a single flock of 433 birds. A bit unusual for mid-winter. Many were practising their mating dance. #birdinghungary #BirdsSeenIn2023

Loving listening to our wonderful SciLife & Science Prize winners!
Yesterday, the @ScienceMagazine & @SciLifeLabPrize winners (F. Schmidt, @DanSimoneschi, @smorenogamez, J. Daly) presented their work for high school students, and toured Campus Solna, along with e.g. @ValdaVinson & @svignieri.
Today they're off to present at a Uppsala symposium
