    Tips on seeing Australia's wildlife travelling the East Coast for 2mth (Cairns to Melbourne)

    Hi all, I’ll be heading to Cairns next week and then up to Daintree. Will I be able to see any cool reptiles or insects around here at this time of year? I’m not entirely sure how easy they are to see during the Winter? Best, Ryan

    What is this behaviour? - Badgers - 02:00, 07 July 2022 - Essex, UK

    Hi all, I saw a couple of badgers on an evening walk near my house last week so I decided to set up a trail cam with a few bird peanuts scattered in front to see if they are regularly there.

    Screeching call over the house at night (UK, 30/07/2021, 11:45pm).

    Amazing! Did think that it could be a barn owl but didn't want to get too excited as it has been a couple of years since I've seen them here! They used to be regular breeders nearby so hopefully that is a sign that they may be back 🙏
