Unlocking LBJs

🎉 Win a Copy of Newman's Birds by Colour! 🎉

Bird identification can be a challenge, especially with traditional field guides that require you to know details like shape, habitat, GISS, bird family, and bill shape. It can be overwhelming for new birders!

But with Newman's Birds by Colour, all you need to know is the colour and size of the bird!

This book is packed with practical tips on identifying birds, bird anatomy, and classification. It also guides you on where to find birds and what you need to get started. But the best part? It makes birding simple and accessible for everyone!

Vervet Monkeys: Urban Garden Raiders!these little tricksters are at it again.Get ready for some garden heist action!Picture this- A peaceful garden, veggies growing beautifully. Suddenly, a gang of vervet monkeys swoops in! Burglars in a heist movie, they scout the scene. In seconds, it’s a veggie buffet! Tomatoes, carrots, you name it—they’re munching away.Then, with full bellies and no remorse, they vanish as quickly as they came.Leaving behind scene of leafy carnage and an empty garden. So, next time your veggies go missing, check for tiny paw prints. It just might be the vervet monkeys on another daring mission! #

Happy Environment day....
"We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land." the world needs to be aware of the planetary boundaries and what it means as soon as possible.. And we all have to work extra hard to come up with a global solution in our different countries.... Climate change is profoundly impacting the environment, causing far-reaching consequences, including:

- Rising sea levels and coastal erosion
- Melting glaciers and polar ice caps
- Increased frequency and severity of natural disasters (e.g.,wildfires, droughts)
- Disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity
- Negative impacts on human health, food security, and economic stability

The most significant risks and consequences include:

- Tipping points: Irreversible damage to ecosystems and ice sheets
- Sea-level rise: Coastal cities and communities at risk
- Water scarcity: Impacts on agriculture, industry, and human consumption
- Loss of biodiversity: Ecosystem collapse and extinction

Misty mountains birding
Bvumba. A name whispered on the wind.It speaks of a place where the earth exhales, where nature's song rings clear.The air itself hums with a mystic melody.It's a symphony of birdsong, rustling leaves, and the hushed whispers of ancient trees.The leaves, a thousand shades of green, dance to the rhythm of the breeze.Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor.They are the unseen orchestra of this wild symphony. Birdsong fills the air.A chorus of trills and whistles, chirps and calls.Close your eyes, and let the music wash over you.Samango monkeys swing through the trees.Their playful chatter echoes through the forest.Their eyes, full of mischief and intelligence, watch you as you pass.

This striking lily is is officially called:

The Gloriosa Superba
‘Amakukhulume’ in Ndebele
‘Kajongwe’ in Shona, which means ‘cockerel’.
Beautiful fine fine flower fine anyhow in a vase, it is even more glamorous in its natural setting. It can climb up to eight feet using tendrils and the flower can reach five inches across. The contrast of the bright red and yellow petals on rocky outcrops in semi-shaded areas, such as forests, makes it irresistible I came across a yellow variety of the flame equally as beautiful as the the red one I must see if I can say so

World Snake Day, held every year on July 16, aims to increase awareness regarding the over 3,500 snake species that exist across the world. Yes, that’s a lot of snakes! And, guess what? Not all of them are as scary or venomous as we believe them to be. The fascinating reptiles are often not given the recognition they deserve just because of the bad reputation they have earned over the years. Snakes play a pivotal role in the ecosystem keeping the rodents in check
