Check out those whiskers! This little harbour seal was picked up by my team in October. Found on a beach with a life threatening condition (mouth rot), he was uplifted and taken to a sanctuary for rehabilitation.
He has a special place in my heart as this was my first rescue. 10/10 perfect gentleman, didn't fight/bite me!
He was recently released into the wild, and is out there somewhere living his best life 🦭

My next #SuperbOwlSunday photo is one of my favourite owl photos - two recently fledged young Barred Owls (Strix varia) on a branch. Cute, even if the sound they made wasn't! I have more photos of these two, and a video of them, in a blog post:

At the footy today and saw a Peregrine Falcon in the rafters. Sorry for the dodgy image, only had my phone with me.

As forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours
The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling downPhoebe Weston (The Guardian)

Are there any #beetle specialists in the #fediverse? Had this in the moth box this morning. At least 4cm long (measured at 4, possibly 4.2cm) App says King Diving Beetle but they're quite rare round here. More likely Great, but I see gold edge rather than yellow and seems too big. Grateful for any assistance
