Certainly earned our stripes with this beauty @bfossey1 @DungenessBO - this female Bengal Tiger eventually gave herself up on our third trip into Corbett NP on Saturday, wandering out of the forest and on to the track in front of our jeeps - definitely a bucket-list moment!

Sub-adult Himalayan Griffon at Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan yesterday

A few owls from the January tour of northern Thailand with @WiseBirding - Collared, Spotted & Asian Barred Owlets plus Buffy Fish Owl

A spectacular & monstrous Great Hornbill in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand a couple of days ago

Male Red-headed Trogon from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand yesterday.............enough said!

@WiseBirding Gaur just crossed road in front of van!

@trapsite So do I! 😂 I’m enjoying a pleasure and pain scenario as the trip progresses, but loving it!

BOC shot of a lovely young male Blue Pitta at Kaeng Krachen, Thailand this morning

Also from Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand over last couple of days: orange-headed thrush, blue-bearded bee-eater, kalij pheasant.....and sun bear 🌞

@WiseBirding Indeed....wish you were here Mr. T!

@trapsite Very nice Mr C 😮

Delighted to have found this adult & juvenile Tawny Frogmouth day-roosting in Deniliquin, NSW this afternoon 😊

Bumped into Martin Guptil while watching an Auckland Aces training session at Eden Park yesterday. I refrained from mentioning the 'foot on the rope' incident that lost the Blackcaps the 1-day World Cup to England a few years ago.....those were the days!

The localised Horisme suppressaria and a beautifully marked male Convolvulus Hawk from light trap at Miranda Shorebird Centre, NZ this week. Also at least 300 Dark Sword-grass A. ipsilon in the trap

@WiseBirding I have to say you're doing a shit job of 'not gripping me off' in Oman 😡

Well that’s the first of this year’s Oman tours wrapped up, with a total of 230 species. We ended in style yesterday with great views of Sociable Lapwing and this cracking Caspian Plover. Now onto tour 2 with some time for mammals too 🤞🏻

From the light trap in Henderson, Auckland last night: Chrysodeixis eriosoma, the only member of the genus in NZ (locally widespread through both main islands) & Cyclophora obstataria, the only 'mocha' in NZ (a recent colonist restricted to the northern half of North Island)

Recorded only the 2nd NZ example of Eupithecia tornolopha near Katikati on 26 November

This Australian Bell Frog Litoria aurea found its way into the light trap at pukorokoro miranda shorebird centre last night

The endemic New Zealand Forest Gecko Mokopirirakau granulatus on a house wall in Katikati today

A few birds from a pelagic out of Tutukaka on Thursday past the Poor Knights Islands: Antipodean Albatross, Short-tailed Shearwater, Black Petrel & White-faced Storm-petrel

Tui & Sacred Kingfisher - Western Springs Park, Auckland this week

Two Ctenoplusia species from light trap in Henderson, Auckland last night: C. albostriata & C. limbirena (Scar Bank Gem), both widely established through North Island, the latter species often commonly in the Auckland area.
