Bongaree, Queensland, Australia,
The Australian wood duck, maned duck or maned goose (Chenonetta jubata) is a dabbling duck found throughout much of Australia. It is the only living species in the genus Chenonetta. Traditionally placed in the subfamily Anatinae (dabbling ducks), it might belong to the subfamily Tadorninae (shelducks); the ringed teal may be its closest living relative.

Out for an early fall hike along the ridgeline at the south side of Donnelly East Park; he autumn colours were hit and miss, we probably have a few more weeks till the leaves are in full autumn mode.
Even so it was a perfect day for a hike, the temperature was in the high teens and there was no wind.

Finally! After many many many attempts of photographing her, I was finally able to photograph this gorgeous (and rare) Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk
👉 The red-tailed hawk population in North America is believed to be around 2 million, meaning only a few-hundred might fly with leucism in the continent.
👉 Leucism causes white coloration, white patches, spots, or splotches on the skin or fur. Leucism is also discernible from albinism because leucism does not affect the pigment cells in the eyes.

Reminder: Give Wildlfie Space - Make sure to bring binoculars or a camera with a telephoto lens, and give our wildlife the respect they deserve by not going near them.
This is a field of cattails, at the former Mount Albion Conservation Area. I like the contrast it had on a grey fall day.
This was a beautiful day last summer, Peter & I decided to go for a little stroll on the Elmley Marshes (Isle of Sheppey), it is an RSPB sanctary & a haven for many different birds, we walked a lot further than we intended, past the bird hides, we came across this little building, have no idea what it was used for but an ideal prop for a photographer..............we weren't far away from civilization but could have been in the middle of nowhere, it was so peaceful.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Rockwood Conservation Area has a rich and unique geological aspect. A few specific features that are a part of the environment at the Rockwood conservation area include glacier bluffs, potholes, caves and some of the oldest dated trees in Ontario.
The cave system includes a series of 12 caves, which is one of the most extensive networks in Ontario. Within the caves is a prominent feature called flowstone, which over many years is created by flowing water that deposits a type of calcium carbonate called calcite.
Another feature at Rockwood are the potholes. Within the conservation area, there is over 200 potholes that all vary in measurements. These potholes are also known as giant's kettles, which are large cavities that have been drilled by flowing water carrying stones and gravel.
As well, glacial bluffs are seen at Rockwood. These have been formed over thousands of years after the earth’s most recent ice age ended. They can be relatively small and get as large as 30 meters deep and 200 meters wide.

I feel so lucky to get to know this guy, not just to take photo's but to watch him grow and be able to watch his mannerisms and personality develop.
To me he is smart. I watch him play with things his keeper gives him and he is incredibly dexterous as his uses his paws a lot and he has great paw, eye co ordination but not just that, I can actually see him thinking about things which to me is a privilege to watch.
Thanks to the conservation efforts of the owner, Brian Kubicki, the C.R.A.R.C. Guayacán reserve is a fantastic place to see lemur leaf frogs thriving in the wild.

The more I read about the preservation of these big cats the one main element that seems to be their demise is the human conflict.
Farmers view them as pests and if they kill their livestock they put strain on the farmers then feeding their family, so the farmer will kill a snow leopard/cheetah/lion for retribution. It seems though that education is now playing a pivotal roll. Not only educating the farmers but their children how to live with these predators ensuring newer generations view the predators differently to generations past.
Many organizations such as the Snow Leopard Trust works directly with herders and communities that share habitat with snow leopards and have identified the specific threats the cats face, and have come up with solutions to mitigate these threats. These solutions really work! In the last four years, there have been no snow leopards killed in the communities where they have conservation programs at work.

Where did mom go? In what seemingly appears to be a game of peek-a-boo, a female monk seal shovels her face into the beach sand as the pup looks around. After taking her 15-day old pup for a swimming lesson, the adult galumphed ashore and nosed into the sand. This is a frequently observed behavior attributed to a variety of reasons ranging from sun screening to molting itch to sensory attenuation. Whatever the motive, it was anthropomorphically amusing to watch. Monk seals are, unfortunately, among the rarest of marine mammals. A recent census indicated a slight increase in the total population to an estimated 1,600 individuals. The encouraging population increase may be due to diligent conservation efforts.
How is it possible that centuries-old paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens still look so good today? This is partly thanks to conservators, who ensure that paintings are preserved in the best possible way.
The exhibition Facelifts & Make-overs shines a light on what usually remains out of sight, namely the conservation of paintings. What is conservation? Why is it necessary? And what secrets do conservators uncover above and below the layers of paint? Welcome to the hidden world of conservation!
