The full moon looking 3D and orange because of the eclipse

Forgot the alt text. Orange or rusty colour centipede with about 21 legs and long pincer type things, on grass.

Scary looking orange-footed centipede found under a rotting log. Apparently a voracious predator but mildly toxic to humans. #auswildlife #ausinverts

Yes we have grey shrikethrushes, they have a lovely song, and they return to the same nest every spring. Though I can't tell if it's the same pair. You can hear them on the Merlin app, but you have to search for gray, not grey.

Lovely to see them in their natural habitat

The photograph, taken from a low angle at eye level, presents a flock of Australian white ibis birds wading in the shallow, sandy waters of a light blue lagoon. The blurry background features a light-brown, sandy bank and additional ibis birds in the distance. In the foreground, four birds take centre stage. On the left, two birds are intently searching for sustenance, their long, downward-curving beaks either submerged or close to the water's surface. To the right, two more ibis birds have their beaks open, seemingly in search of food. The birds' bodies are predominantly white, contrasted by black feathers on their backs and black, featherless heads and necks. Their legs and beaks are also black. The scene is bathed in the warm light of sunset.

Dinner time here in Australia. 🍽️😋🇦🇺

The head of the rainbow lorikeet is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. The flower spike is a lime green colour. In the distance the sea can be just made out.

See reply to post below, I forgot about the character limit.

Copied my files to Documents and Pictures. Then found that Windows had dragged them onto the OneNote that I have never used or wanted to use. Spent the next 3 hours figuring out what happened and undoing it so hopefully it will not happen again.

I just got a new laptop with Windows 11. During setup there is a screen to log into your Microsoft account. No way to bypass it or opt out. So I logged into my account (which I have from registering MS Office 2019).

Must be a successful stategy, we have plenty of fantails as well as crows and currawongs. I'm planting prickly bushes for them to hide in.

It's nighttime and I am walking my puppy. The full moon is shining through clouds and big old gumtrees are silhouttted in front. It is 10 degrees Celsius, not too cold if you are rugged up. We saw one small kangaroo hopping away.

Play, walk, play, sleep. Freezing wind and rain, 6 degrees centigrade outside, nice to come home to the fire. #bordercollie

Puppy had a busy morning shredding her blankets

Didn't notice the missing leg at first.I was cleaning the chicken coop at the time. Lucky it didn't bite them i guess!

Sadly it lost a leg in our encounter. I relocated it where we should not meet again!
