It might look like a tree full of bright green leaves, but zoom in! This tree is actually absolutely packed with Ring-necked Parakeets getting ready to roost for the night. You can really see why these incredible birds are so successful in our parks and cities.

This young rabbit looked like it was suffering from Myxomatosis. 💔
I always notice quite a few rabbits with this viral disease after the harvest—when cover is reduced, it often makes the disease more visible in the wild population. A tough but common sight.

When did "modern housing" come to mean "shoebox houses with tiny gardens" and sterile green spaces? New developments seem to prioritize squeezing as many units as possible, leaving no real room for nature. Public areas obsessively mown & trees not watered.
