Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

Thulusdhoo, Maldives. Noon off the main road. Front of a newly renovated house. White walls lead to a powder blue door with purple bougainvillea hanging over it. Weeds with colorful flowers grow beneath the wall around the house. There is a white 2-seater sofa by the wall and right side of the door. In the background, banana leaves can be seen framed by a blue sky.

There's still some warmth in the sun here - lovely if you can find somewhere sheltered.

At the moment Malta is, but our island isn't as we bore the brunt of the early autumn storms and rains. Some more would be welcome now, however...

One of my favourite polar bear photos I've taken to date. It was a weird, misty evening with just a sliver of sunlight coming through the fog, lighting up this bear on the rocks just outside of town. #mammals 🌿 #BearSeason2025

Tall grey birds with red forehead patches in a golden grain stubble field. Two in the foreground are facing each other with wings raised.
