One of my favorite local planthoppers, Dictyonissus griphus. Such distinctive wing venation.

Recently at a Q&A, the chair asked me an excellent question: Why do you push so hard against the idea of a ‘nature cure’ when moments in your book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt might look like exactly that?
The answer is simple.

Your body's black. It's hot and sunny. Surely you'd go rest in the shade?
Not if you're a blackbird!
Yesterday I was in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens on a hot norwester afternoon, and lots of the resident blackbirds were out sunbathing.
Vermilion cardinal
On April 28, we visited La Guajira in northern Colombia, where we met this punky vermilion cardinal east of Camarones. It lives only on this peninsula and a few coastal areas in Venezuela. While the females have brown and beige plumage, the males are striking red.

#Trailrunning last Friday: Hike'n'Run over the #Krummbachstein, with great views of #Rax & #Schneeberg, with 1,300 m EG. Partly through 20-50 cm deep snow. 1h steep descent through the dark forest – not ideal if you don't have a headlamp with you. The best thing about the tour: easily accessible from #Wien, and the start/finish is right on the train platform!
