A Sulphur-crested cockatoo in Sydney. This guy was one of a large group that noisily arrived in the suburb of Wooloomooloo in Sydney. Yep, that’s an actual place.

Is this the best cup of coffee ever? I swear that I didn’t know that the star of the show was there until I sat down. Made the eyes open wide for sure! 👀

I’m working in Brisbane this week. I went for a drive on a rainy night and had to pull over and rescue this beauty of a Carpet Python from the middle of the road.

Unexpected find when night walking. 2 Motoro stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro) in a narrow, shallow drain no more than 20cm (8”) wide. A beautiful and fascinating fish. The invasive Motoro is native to the Amazon River but was released here in Singapore by hobbyists.

A Bamboo Viper (Trimeresurus albolabris) alongside a road on a drizzly Hong Kong night. A little over exposed, but in my defence, I had trucks rumbling along the road, the viper was in half shadow, and I had a large curious cow behind me. Snap and go!
