Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)Observer
alexis_orionDescription
we were at the Ökowerk when this Buzzard landed right in front of us.
This individual is probably quite used to people, but I have still never been quite this close to a wild bird of prey before!

Dicyrtomina ornataObserver
alexis_orionDescription
We Found this TINY bug crawling around on the ground. When I tried to put it on to a better surface for photographing, it jumped nearly 5 centimeters high!
I think it was around 1 mm long?
I did some research and I think that it was most likely a Globular Springtail. Any further ID help would be appreciated.

Wow!
this Robin let me get to the very closest focusing distance of my 45-200mm lens, it then gave me enough time to put on one of my macro filters and take the photos you see here (as well as many more!). By the end it was sitting around 20cm from my lens!
What an experience!

Western Gull (Larus occidentalis)Observer

So there I was, at Disneyland with the family, and of course my mind is on what wildlife I might be able to scrounge out of the park. The 7D Mark II and 400mm lens was too big to lug around all day, so I did the best I could with my little Sony bridge camera. Enjoy!

Power's Rain Frog (Breviceps poweri)Observer
jakobDescription
These are very grumpy meat balls on 4 legs: spending most of their lives underground, then emerging to feast on swarming termites with the first heavy rains before going underground again (well, with a little reproductive activity in-between).
We first discovered 2 frogs on a sandy dirt road, but a few metres onwards there were dozens of them!
