Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides): 53cm (21in). This is a species of frogmouth native to the Australian mainland & Tasmania. It is a big-headed, stocky bird, often mistaken for an owl due to nocturnal habits & similar colouring. Fantastic image taken by David Ashley in Perth, Western Australia.

Tortoise/Turtle (order Testudines): Shells of many species of turtles and tortoises are intricately marked and coloured, yet are incredibly perfectly designed by nature to blend precisely with their natural habitats. Superb photos taken by Casey Leone. Top row, from left to right:

Goldcrest (Regulus regulus): Brightly coloured crest feathers give this tiny 8.5cm (3.3in) bird its name. It is Europe's smallest bird & is also found in parts of Asia. A member of the Kinglet family, it seeks insects to feed on. Lovely shot taken by Paul Ash in his garden in Cornwall, UK #goldcrest

Hedgehogs, once common in gardens, are now vulnerable to extinction. But there’s hope.
We're modelling how they move through fragmented habitats, alongside bats and amphibians. And our new hub, Actions for Nature, will find and track efforts to help.
With all hands on deck, we can bring them back.

Sussex is fast becoming a hotspot for nature recovery.
There’s a swelling energy to reconnect people and place. Farmers, land managers, communities, and gardeners are all finding pioneering ways to join up habitats, improve soil and water health, future-proof food production and repair ecosystems.

Had to get a shot of this harbour whilst the sun was glistening!
Originally a small fishing hamlet called Bynnee, King Edward III transformed it into a fortified town named Queenborough in the 14th century, honoring his queen.

Smitten by your teeny-tiny tortoise bug 💗 xx
Hello little Tortoise bug, I see you! Cleverly camouflaged on that grass seed head. Blending in so well but still looking very stylish with that wonderfully patterned coat 🙂
