Great White Heron Everglades Florida.
The majestic great white heron is unique to south Florida and the Florida Keys. Nesting occurs throughout the year, with a pronounced peak between November and February. Nesting habitat is primarily on mangrove islands within Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge and Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Birds forage on large, continuous turtle grass beds during a limited fraction of the tidal cycle. Destruction of seagrass beds by boating impacts can directly limit the availability and quality of forage habitat for these birds.
Is the great white heron a separate species?
Originally thought to be just a white color morph of the great blue heron, recent research about the great white suggests that it is at least a subspecies of it. Some preliminary unpublished data suggests that it may even be a completely separate species.
For more information on the movement patterns of the great white heron, visit ARCI's website on tracking studies of avian species.

It's not a great photo, but it was the first time we've seen this owlet.
The photo was taken before sunrise, while we waited to enter Jim Corbett National Park.
It was very dark and we saw her perched on top of a branch. At first, we didn't realize what it was. Only when she moved did we realize it was an owlet.
It was the only time we saw this species.

The main road through the dense jungles of the beautiful Kaeng Krachan National Park. It is paved for maybe half of it's length. After that only four wheeled drive vehicles can continue.
Wikipedia: Kaeng Krachan National Park is the largest national park of Thailand. It is on the border with Burma, contiguous with the Tanintharyi Nature Reserve. It is a popular park owing to its proximity to the tourist town of Hua Hin. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 26 July 2021, despite concerns from the OHCHR around the human rights violations of the indigenous people that live in the park.
The forests contain a great biodiversity of tropical vegetation, including tropical and subtropical broad leaf tree species and palms. Ninety-one species of mammals and 461 bird species have been counted in the park.
A layered composition that includes 6 types of monkey and a chimpanzee.

(Turdoides striata) These birds are gregarious and very social. They sometimes form the core of a mixed-species foraging flock. They feed mainly on insects, but also eats grains, nectar and berries. The groups maintain territories and will defend it against neighbours but will sometimes tolerate them. For their size, they are long lived and have been noted to live as long as 16.5 years in captivity.
When foraging, some birds take up a high vantage point and act as sentinels. They are known to gather and mob potential predators such as snakes.
This hungry cat was hunting for rodents or birds in a grassland area of Panna National Park. It was circling an area with longer grass, stopping frequently to listen and to look inside
The Jungle Cat is a widespread smaller cat in temperate and tropical South Asia. Its fur is quite uniformly colored with some markings on the limbs and tail. It has fairly long legs and can weigh over 10kg (20lbs).

Fritz, my ginger cat, in our front garden at Dural, north-western Sydney, where he loved the many native Australian trees and plants that I had in the garden. He was our "jungle cat", but always had a bell on and came in every night, to protect the many native birds that we had in the garden, and surrounding forests, at Dural. He is sadly missed.
The tropical rainforest in Bato Springs resort.
Bato Springs Resort is located in the town of San Pablo City, Laguna, two hours drive from Manila. It is located between the Mt. Cristobal and Mt. Banahaw. It was established in 1981 where it was first a river and then later on developed into a better version of what it is right now.
We have visited this resort many times, a kind of tropical Zen feeling we get here.
Bato Springs Resort is a perfect getaway to lessen the heat o summer and keep your coolness. With natural spring water flowing in the area, cold and chill vibes will surely be touching your inner hotness. Literally speaking, the water is cold at day, and even colder at night. It is in Calabarzon on the island Luzon, Philippines
In the picture one can see many plants , which in Europe are only available in garden stores.

Late evening scene at a restaurant in a jungle lodge in India. I was at a jungle lodge in a national tiger reserve in Karnataka (India) on the weekend, primarily to try my luck at spotting wildlife. However, this restaurant there, lit up after the onset of night looked so beautiful on the backdrop of the late evening sky that I could not resist clicking this photograph.
